You know I saw you
& I felt nothing.
I kissed you.
& I felt nothing.
You know I said I love you.
But, I didn't mean it.
I said what my mind told me to say
While my heart, it screamed to be heard.
I hugged you.
& our bodies clapped together like hard ice.
I looked into your ***** brown eyes
& I just saw eyes.
You see, love isn't just nothing.
It's not just sweet air between two lovers
A bouquet of flowers
Nor is it just those Three Words.
Love is not just felt, it's endured.
It's powerful.
Beyond our comprehension
Yet,
Your lips don't grip mine with madness no more.
Never have.
Your hugs freeze me to the bone.
Your eyes are not my freedom.
Only shame and guilt.
Those THREE words which I took for granted
I see no use for them.
