Never Knew (Love)

Never Knew (Love)

A Poem by Tim Lawless

In my darkest hour,

I find that I can put this to rest.

Pardon the ambiguity,

But some things are better left unsaid.

Love is one of those things that nobody will ever quite understand.

I mean--what I'm feeling--can you honestly say it's just chemicals in my head?

Like my mind is just some cosmic accident,

A cosmological practical joke?

 

I doubt it.

 

I'm putting...something...to rest here.

Maybe I'm putting one last nail in the proverbial coffin.

Or worse--maybe I'm putting one last nail in the hand of God.

 

I understand precious little.

What I do understand

Is something like this:

 

I never knew Love till I nailed it to a cross.

Wow.
This shows me that you're far too much smarter than me, and we can no longer be friends on the count of you making me look like an idiot. (just kidding)
"I mean--what I'm feeling--can you honestly say it's just chemicals in my head?

A cosmological practical joke?"

And this, well, this is just amazing.
"Or worse--maybe I'm putting one last nail in the hand of God."

You're amazing at this dude.
