Inner Truth.

Inner Truth.

I love you now like I loved you before.

My heart hasn’t changed.  It’s still empty and poor.

It needs your love to raise it to its fullest.

I need it to beat at its fastest.

I want your excitement to excite my love.

I need a commitment that you are not just looking for fun.

I have to know you won’t walk out the door.

I’m looking for a lover who will be mine forever more.

You walked away because I didn’t say I love you earlier.

That’s ok, I never expected anything other,

Than breaking my heart with your hammer of silence.

I’ve had it all my life, that’s why hope for me is pointless.

Yet still I love you today just like all others.

I’ll love you tomorrow even if we never become lovers.

I’ll dream of you and wake up happy.

Then I will come crashing back down to reality.

So go forever and never return.

I’m an old man now and I’ll never learn.

If I can’t tell you to your face that I want to be with you,

Then I can’t tell anyone ever,

My inner truth.
