If you love me, it brings no joy, <br />But the tears come easily..... <br />Cascading waves leaving my eyes <br />For shores of uncertainty <br /> <br />If you love me, why must I ask <br />'O, do you love me, my dear? ' <br />Why do these words ride restless winds, <br />And answers never appear? <br /> <br />If you love me, where is my smile? <br />It hides in obscurity, <br />No revelling in Spring's first rose, <br />Nor the robin's melody <br /> <br />If you love me, why does the moon <br />Cover her face with a veil..... <br />Can she not bear to see your love <br />Looking so fatigued and frail? <br /> <br />If you love me, my heart deceives, <br />Empty it feels, night and day, <br />I asked for but a flower of love.... <br />No demands for the bouquet <br /> <br />If you love me, can you explain <br />Why these thoughts come to my mind? <br />Your love can't find its way to me.... <br />In your heart, it stays confined<br /><br />Lora Colon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-love-me-25/
