Read My Lips



I open my mouth and though the words may escape, it's not fast enough and I find my explanation.
That very exploration of my love, it goes on and on without an end.
It has been so many words, so many times.
That its now become a tale, a tale bridging facts and dreams and bordering on the title of "tall".
For a love so deep in my heart, that the abrupt ending has torn my very soul apart...

And  the heart doth affect the mind which in turn effects the body and I find myself dissatisfied by mere trifling children masquerading as women and pretending they understand that word that holds such power unequal in myself only mearly matched at times by my hatred and loathing of myself...
That word is LOVE.
