Growing Love

I could grow to love you, you know,

If I overlook you pitiful attempts to manipulate,

The constant waving of faults and slights like filthy rags in my face.

I know I said I love you too,

Well, I do, a teensy weensy little bitsy.

I had to say those words to help you along,

You seem to love saying them,

Though they are no longer uttered.

Why? Did I say it wrong?

I could grow to love you, you know.

If I ignore the fact that you don't see to care about your well-being.

Well, why the heck should I?!

You don't care about the concern I show.

Little tests,

Jabbing thrusts,

Watch where you aim, boyo,

You just might get scratched.

I could love you, you know.

Inspite it all

Many Times What!

How many times can you love without losing yourself?

Get brokenhearted, still persist?

Fragments of your mind,

Fragments of your heart,

Floating about in chart-less-maze askew,

Called to order since life goes on

Delve me the future, Muse,

Hide not your tears, Old Faithful,

Did I die or yet live?

Harboring such pain as this?

Wait For Love

We should have waited

Maybe

To see what will unfurl

We should have waited

Perhaps

Just so we can say we did

We should have waited

Maybe

 For the discipline; you'd say

We should have waited

Perhaps

In obedience to rules then belief

We should have waited

Probably

We wouldn't have swept the guilt under the carpet
Behind a facade of coolness

If we had waited

Perhaps

There would be no suspicion

We did not wait

Maybe

Because we fanned the embers

We would have waited

Except nobody did

Why should we?

We waited

Yes, we did

Despite all

We wait

We are

Anything can happen
