His Steadfast Love





She rips his heart
With her tongue.
Sharp as a razor
The blade lashes and
Draws blood giving
Vent to her aching heart.
He listens
Mute and helpless.
There is nothing
To say or do
But love her.

Her heart is fragile
And she tears it
Time and again
With her cruel tongue
The torrent of angry
Pain ridden hurtful words
Is relentless
Deafening the silent pleas of his heart.

The fires of her hell
Blind her
Her every spoken thought
Judging and damning him.
And yet victory is
Not hers to keep
For his weeping heart
Is hers too.

Spent she listens
To their agonizing quiet.
Her soul weeps
As he draws a sigh
That quiver with unspoken hurt.
His sadness almost palpable
His silence he breaks and says….
“I love you baby”

    What do I say but brilliant, beautiful,honest and the most endearing apology ever, to true love. We all hurt those who love us, out of fear of losing them.

    Yes Roy we will do anything to hear that "I love you". But often we take those three words for granted too. Thank you for commenting

    oh i can't think of anything else the moment he says he loves me...

    the words you use are potent rimly... they speak to the heart... you transmit emotions to the readers and yet leave them tongue tied in the end with the contrasts that you make... :)... thumbs up...
