Love Poem: Secret Silence

Secret Silence

I see you sitting there with her
Acting the part you've been assigned
A nice little kingdom you've built
With the acceptable "values" you've designed

Something is awry, doesn't match
You're so handsome, she's average, at best
Like a decent treasure box
Just enough for what you're willing to invest

There you sit, alone, with him
What is that running between your eyes
Sparks of interest...a secret
Both of you must carefully devise

He's fighting back tears
Begging you to come along, decide
Your little kingdom, in exchange
For a beautiful, bumpy ride

It's over, just like that
The moment is gone and you fully know
Your heart is divided
Between the one you love and life of lies your committed to grow

Love always requires a sacrifce
You must speak in a very clear voice
"I want love no matter how it comes"
It's obvious....secret silence is your self-serving choice

Note: So many claim love, but the only one they love is the secret, and even then, only as long as it serves self. Love requires complete investment and everything else is valueless in its presence.
