Love is

Love is

A Poem by Cjb

She cannot see what I see.
Her eyes speak her heart
Hidden behind a mask of a smile she wears so well.
A costume in the theater of her heart.
The act of love is not enough to please her.
Affections shown do not effect her,
For her,
Love is a lie.
Love is 6 feet under. Locked in a crypt to decay.
With every affectionate motion
She withdraws to keep her distance from the edge
Of the cliff she knows as love.

Someone is afraid to let their guard down and someone who has gone thru a lot and now they lift their standards . Great poem
