Don't Listen

Don’t Listen
Why can’t you believe me
When I have said it so much
This idea, this ache that compels
Such longing and professing
Love is such a cliché
Spent counterfeit so often
Sometimes my mouth feels
Like I am holding pennies
Such little worth off the tongue
The metal taste of the futility
When I utter such banality
Yet, it is dark blood true
Gloriously real and honest
A seven hundred foot waterfall
Of unadulterated emotion
When I find you near
Don’t listen to my prattle
But believe my eyes
When they drink from Your own

in the silence
