You Speak Of (A Love)

You speak of (a love)

Karyn Indursky

 

You speak of
a love
you feel,
but it's not returned.

 

You speak of
how you
give and give
your love
only to have it
thrown back
to yesterday.

 

You speak of
how your love
is strong,
but his is nonexistent.

 

You speak of
how much you feel,
but how you
find it lost
in a breeze
of wind
we call his "Mouth."

 

You speak of
so much, but of how
he gives none
of it back.

 

You speak of
giving it your all,
but not knowing
what to do
about him
throwing it away
like useless rubble.

 

You speak of
wanting him
to see
all of it
as he sees none.

 

You speak of
your love
leaving out his.
