Difficulties in saying I Love You

What if I said I loved you? 

Spilled my heart on the floor 

Full of raw red flesh wounds 

That you've never seen before 

An empty echoing hollow 

Drifting through the dark days 

Is what my heart once was 

Until you set me in my ways 

Your love for me ran deeply 

Intensities I've never felt 

Only you could cause 

My concrete walls to melt 

The fire burned so brightly 

Between us across a room 

The light has dwindled now 

Fading into a dark gloom 

Each day I fall further numb 

Black is all I bleed 

What if I had told you? 

Three words is all I need

Strong poetic phase of love. Very deep imagery. The love wants love itself - but the world makes it ruined with all of darken pleasure of nights. It's a thing that's not easily found.

Keep writing!

i like this poem...the plea of wanting to hear those words...but i feel they mean little unless expressed without solicitation...

but i would spill my heart anyway...i always have.
