The Truth Of Tenderness



My love for you is unlike a feeling
It does not cause pain but rather my keen being

Unknowing of my hearts raw force
Though knowing my name on your lips to be my only source

The sound of your laugh awakens my own
My regretful smile at leaving my home

You are my tree house, my comfort
Your orbit the culprit to my eternal descent

About this poem

This signifies innocent love and his raw emotions towards a being. It is natural and underwhelming as I believe love to be.
