Listless Love 30/11/07 Poem by Rachael Hardy

My love for you exceeds the knowledge of understanding
Even I can’t seem to perceive this feeling that dwells within
Even I can’t comfort this heart
This heart that cries inconsolable tears
I feel pity upon the soul that turns his back
Compelled I am to express my love to another
Content not
But what choice have you left me with I will not stop loving
I have to much love to give
Yes, I will love again
Even when the speech of my tongue contradicts me
How can the heart be untrue
Know that my heart will not wither
My love will not die
As I adore you
Like a woman should adore her man
I love you
Your love I will continuously desire
As the influence of your love
Makes me weak
Makes me smile
Makes me cry
My emotions
Controlled through the power of your kiss
And without you I seize to express it
Emotionless I am
Lifeless
Like air I simply exist
Waiting patiently
To express my love to a willing recipient
An inferior substitute
Content not
But stop loving
I cannot
