A Shadow of Your Smile

A Shadow of Your Smile

A Poem by Donald Cole
"

If you won't let love Happen, Love won't happen For Amy

"

 

I will only be a ghost

A shadow of your smile

You will only know my heart

If you share your heart with me a while

I can only share your pain

If you were to let me in

And I can only know your love

If you let this love begin

I can only help you be

What you want to be

And that will only come to pass

If you let you trust in me

My world is not so far from yours

Yet you I will not reach

Unless we climb the hills together

And face our walls we must breach

Our paths had never crossed before

We each went our own way

And only when we choose our walk together

Will our paths become common one day

It's easy to deny ourselves

To allow our dreams come true

And only when we lose our fears

Will there be a me and you

It is easier just to walk away

And let our dreams subside

Though it is when fear would rule our heart

That love, through fear will hide

Then who are we really fooling?

Not to let our worlds come through?

And isn't it faith that makes us grow?

Then Love that makes us true?

 

Don C.
