Does She Even Know?

by Therapoetic4   Apr 1, 2017


In these long absences
How can she know
How much I miss her?
How much I care?
How desperate I am
To hold her
Just once more.

Maybe it's better
That she doesn't know.
If she did...
She might hurt
As much as I do.

    When we love someone so much, we never wish to see them hurt even if we ourselves are miserable!
    A selfless sort of write and one that proves the purity of true love.

    All the very best to you,

    Hi, I really like this though it may seem simple, it speaks so much to me and as I see others. Your words always seem to be relatable, honest and somewhat raw in their simplicity. I love how your title is a question because it makes you ask yourself questions before reading the piece itself.

    1/ The first line to me said this is a relationship where you have times that you don't see each other and those kinds of relationships can be pretty heart-breaking in my opinion. Anyway, all these questions running around your head.. What, why, how etc etc... And that main one does she hurt as much as you when you're apart? Then the last line says that you're not just apart as in distance but are no longer together but still miss her and if it was special then why shouldn't/wouldn't you?

    2/ Maybe it is better that and doesn't know as they say what you don't know won't hurt you but then again take a chance, tell her as you will regret it if you don't...

    The thing about your poems is they always catpure so much emotion; and I was reading along with this I got to the end and I almost cried.
    I'm sure whoever she is misses you just as much.
