To Know

A lament for forbidden knowledge

I just
don't know
any way
To know
You know
It's true
Or if
You did
To know
You did
And then
Would it
make any
differ
ence to
you?

Author's Note

How do I know, if she won't talk to me?

[Amanda Lee/ Isolated Dr..]

instead of "and" (2nd last line) try "then"
i think it will work nicely the and doesn't seem to bring the poem to a close like the last line-- "then" instead of "and" would be like an introduction to the ending--- know what I mean?

this really has a great flow , esp. the 2nd read around

[Priscilla Sayers]

You try to communicate in the best way possible. Speaking with concern in your voice, softly. No frustrated voice will not bring out any response to any woman or man for that matter. I find that talking with the intent to understand someone better is easier if you let them know your honest intentions up front. If she won't talk give her time. Space. The revisit the issue. Communication is a two way street. You message is well conveyed. I hope this helps.

I felt the longing to know, in this poem... although it was short each line commanded attention. Nice write.
