If I could write the words to make you understand, <br />pages would be filled in seconds, <br />and the words would fall like autumn leaves. <br />If pain be the reason for the words, <br />then I would suffer in agony for eternity, <br />and if joy be the reason, <br />I would pray to be manic. <br /> <br />If the verse could cause your change of heart, <br />the poems would rise from my sleep <br />and I would dream you a better life. <br /> <br />But I know, <br />all the words in the world, cannot mend a broken heart <br />and they will be empty, and meaningless to anyone, <br />who has not loved enough to know the pain. <br />Who has not loved like I once did...<br /><br />Dewald Viljoen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-words-maxie-s-poem/
