Truth (Harrisham Rhyme)

by Sylvia   Jan 21, 2009


These three words, I love you,
eloquent, easy to say to another, yet wound,
taking them to a lonely place, making them blue.
Give pause, for it is to late when hearts are strewn,
each by a word that is not true.
Hurtful words, one should heed and not speak to soon.

    Wow, this is amazing. I love you is chucked around so easily today, its so hard to tell when it is truly meant and when it isnt. It starts to lose its meaning when everybody uses it and 9 times out of 10, it isnt meant.
    Great write :]

    Silvia,

    To some people those three words are used inapropriately.
    Some people are unable to feel love at all yet say they do because they want the benefits that come along with having a relationship.
    I will tell you how I see love: love is the energy that flows through us. It is to be given unselfishly to all people that cross your path. There is no such thing as coincidence, so the ones you meet are there for a reason. I think all people in your life deserve your love, even your enemies. All you give comes back to you, so if you give love, that is what you get in return.

    *hugs*

    5/5 Ingrid
