Take My Hand

Take My Hand

A Poem by Yvette Shaw
"

Feeling vs hearing the words....I LOVE YOU

"

 

                        Take My Hand
 
You wanted honesty, said; tell how you feel.
Asked for words, to prove I’m for real.
 
If in the blink of an eye, hurt can be felt. Then
with the whisper of a word, a lie can be dealt.
 
The answer you seek, is not found in forced
chatter.
 
It’s in a touch, a simple glance, let your
feelings see what matters.
 
If in a word, the truth really lied, not a one
of us…would ever cry.
 
The word itself, said way to often, over open
hearts as well as coffins.
 
I need not hear it, to know it’s true. Simply
to feel it; coming from you.
 
The words I can speak easily; if that you
demand, just a word of advice…
take my hand

Those last lines were awesome. It was probably the music on my itunes that gave it the enhanced power, but still, it was really good.

Feelings speak louder than words, this was very touching. I liked it. Good write.
