Tell Me

I wish I could read your mind

To tell if you still care

To tell if the man I knew and loved

Is still in there somewhere

 

Tell me can you hear me?

Is your heart listening?

Please don’t tune me out again

I have so much I need to say

 

I want to break apart your shell

Reach down into your personal hell

And pull your soul out

And try and piece it back together

 

Tell me are you willing

To give this love of ours another shot

Maybe it doesn’t have to end

Maybe it doesn’t have to be this way

 

Tell me is there something left to save

I know you’re about to cave again

But can you hold on a little longer?

Just until I can get there

 

I’m running as fast as I can

Baby, I’m doing all I can

Tell me do you want my embrace?

Or will you just turn away

 

I wish you could read my mind

This is the kind of love that binds

I can’t walk away from you

Because I still believe in you

Tell me can you hear me?

I'll love you eternally

Tell me if you still care

If you do then I swear I'll find you

I'll never give up this search

I know you're still in there somewhere

Baby, just hold on a little longer

Just until I can get to you

The work of relationship is never easy. But love is worth the work. To me, you're poem demonstrates that in the time that every relationship faces, when one partner seems to losing themselves and us.

Hello there!

Love can truly capture us~~ This poem was very candid, and given the topic at hand, you treated it very well! I especially like how you write, "I wish I could read your mind," then change it to "I wish you could hear my mind" a few stanzas down. Love--or any emotion--would be so much simpler if we humans could read minds.

Nice work and thank you for sharing this!
