My Kind Of Love Poem by Fareez Phalez

My kind of love is tough
Often mistaken as a pretence
While to a few it may be sweet
To the others it doesn't make sense

The kind of love that isn't in the eyes
And not the love that's said out loud
It isn't the kind that is flossed around
Yet like pride it is always proud

It looks dangerous from the outide
But inside it is home sweet home
It can be a menacing beast
But one that recognizes and protects its own

The kind of love that may not help you fall asleep
But always willing to stay up with you
May not be the one that can calm the storm
But would get into the boat with you

And because my love is tough
It will never simply die for you
Before I lay my life down to save yours
My love for you would kill for you

That's how tough my love is for you
Even though I may not say much
You may think I'm just being hard
But that is why this love can't be touched
