Waiting to understand (Free verse) by Cha no Onna
How do you love someone Who doesn't know what love is Who can't see herself with your eyes Who becomes only a cold, empty room? You told me that you love the truth of me Not in so many words, but that was The meaning I found. And still I, Quiet as a pilot light, Wait to understand. Through yesterdays I think I grieved for myself. It hurt, knowing suddenly that there was no love Here in my heart, which holds you and him And so many others, For me.

Up the ladder: For fun
Down the ladder: My Angel

yesterwhen? i really have to todaywhy your use of homemade neologisms. keep it up and in a couple of hundred years we won't be able to understand a word you're saying. now let's see a poem where each line is more like "quiet as a pilot light" and less like "it hurt..."
