Speak My Heart True

Dearest friend in secrets

gray is the night without

a quick visit from you



Each grand movement of my pen

you find something deep within

joking of my range of feelings



My lack of love intrigues you

my homely darkness invites you

my heart drums hastily for you



I hear you speak of girls

how you wish to forget them

to take a break for their sparing ways



I hurt because of those words

understanding this friendship

that cannot be anymore than that



Listen to words I reluctantly write

ignore this one if you cherish

this simple friendship forever
