Time is passive It is a gentle bleeding of seconds into hours and moments into days And in the twinkle of an eye a year has gone by A year of me deprived of your love Your smile and the intricacy of your design You see my heart yearns for you but my ego resides in my temple and it's been comfortable for a while I'd hear your voice in fleeting moments but my brain's been hard coded to display denial Your pride and my ego, essential recipes for a cocktail that's not benign But love is benign … and we felt it When I tucked your hair behind your ears so my fingers could strokes cheeks the look in my eyes said I love you and you knew I meant it So you'd lock fingers with mine, kiss my hand and that cheeky smile on your face said "I love you too" and each time I melted So why have we faltered Love never fails, but we've been broken so many times that love might not be enough So what's changed Have I grown into a man undeserving of your desires Are my offerings of intimacy no longer a fuel to your fire Why does a stare into my eyes no longer set your soul on fire Riddle me this If we were good each time I asked why are we here If you trusted me, what did you fear And when did you decide that our love was something you had to persevere Damn it, there's things silence won't repair So speak up now, this is the time to share You know It's amazing to hear the passion in your voice But for the longest time it was never there I'd watch your eyes light up in conversations with friends But as soon as that call ends they return to gloom Like I was the catalyst of your doom I find it amazing that you're a poet, who doesn't like to speak (But you know that It is my escape..) Please let me speak Your actions spoke louder than words, but your voice was what kept my heart at its peak You'd show me you loved me, and then you'd say it So when you're away and I'm needing your loving my brain will replay it But you wouldn't say it And now you ask me why my heart has grown quiet It's because you denied it You stopped speaking like you were trying to win my heart Now That, that is when we fell apart You'd make decisions and hope I understand but fail to realise my heart had its own demands See we have danced in the sea of love So I know that is not where we stand This pool is shallow and ankle deep But you promised a love that will drown me Yes action speaks louder than words But before you say that you showed it Tell me why you write poetry and not just act it It's because words give life, and subconsciously you felt it I loved your gifts, the flowers and acts of service But what I really wanted, was for you to look in my eyes and tell me I was wanted Now that is where we faltered You ask me why I don't talk But when you don't talk, how do I know that you'd listen You'd tell me of big moments but it's the little things that's missing When you ask me what shirt to buy, or what lunch to make it'd make my heart glisten You see I wanted to be a part of your life, not just your milestones You see the joy at the top of the mountain, was slowly built in the climb And Yes love is benign But you, you don't get to choose the language my heart understands So love me in my own words Assure me that I am yours Continue to invent pet names that nauseate me For when I sleep it is not your actions but your words that comfort me
