Love Poem: Tiles

Tiles

if I seem too quiet now
if I show you with actions
don't tell you with words
don't tell you why or how
I love you

I spell it out with tiles 
letters with points on a board
double word score
down and across
I love you

when love costs
the price too high
for the heart to bear
worth every last feeling
I love you

take it all 
give nothing back 
your light dim in my dark
bright it shines in other eyes
and still it rests here inside
I love you
