Free verse № 215
Can't we be together?
I don't want words
To cheapen what I feel for you.
Paper can't speak for my heart but
Can it dull the pain of knowing that
We can't be together?
Don't think I haven't known.
What you should know is that
Your voice feels like a God is easing my fear
And each time you smile I am born again.
I don't need to be your life
To have the illusion that I own you;
Love is never owned and
Owning your love doesn't mean that
I love you.
I would die for you, and yet
My words have still been cheapened.
What you mean to me is meaning, and
I am not alone when I remember
That the sun rises in our common sky.
