Empty Gestures

Insincerity hurts!

Empty Gestures

I will not embrace the cliché

as you unfold

a soggy tissue

soaked in my blood.

There is a cry in the air

as evil deeds are done

to my soul.

The soul of an honest

and passionate man,

who offers love and respect.

So why, oh why

desecrate me so?

Why treat me with such indifference,

with such a callous and shallow kiss?

Why start a conversation

only to punctuate it

with brutal pregnant pauses

that simply tear down

any alliance we could

ever create?

Such a waste of love!

oh those brutal pregnant pauses....soaked in the blood of insincerity----the speaker offers her everything that is deep inside him...and she is all show.
makes for a broken heart and one that might be overly cautious in the future.

When one is sincere one is open and willing to exchange facts and gestures. So many do not and it makes even begining a relationship impossible. Thank you Jacob.
