Love In Agony

by agray3540

Of all the words I could speak,
None of them could satisfy my heart,
My toung can not tell it what it is feeling,
Only my heart knows that,

Even as a lady,
I giggle at your words,
The laughs paint a picture
Of the consequences
If I was too close,

Too close,
Too far in,
Too into this,
This emotion I don’t know,
I can’t read your poker face,
Maybe I’m wearing one too.

<p>Your poem is astonishing, especially when arriving to the last two lines about the &quot;poker faces&quot;. Can a love be true or are people always unlucky to keep getting into scuffles of lust? &quot;Love in Agony&quot; is captivating int its rhythm and repetition that emphasizes how one yearns to discover true love and escape the current lusting in his/her life. Great work!</p>
