Love Song
You say it doesn't matter.
Whether that is true,
or just what you think
as you hide parts of you
behind the carefully polished exterior
that you want us to see;
the bond runs deep.
Tethered, inextricably linked,
I knew you before you knew yourself.
I wish you could grasp
part of the depth
and the breadth
and the width
and the circumference
of my love.
It burns strong enough
to move heaven and earth;
it feels huge enough
to fill the universe.
So, I will wait
and I will listen,
trying not to interrupt
as you show me who you are
and what you need.
I will sing it into the silences
and pour it into the places
that you allow me to see.

Dear E,
Gorgeous homage to the love and bonds of mothers and daughters. It can be strange and tense one decade and loving and understanding all the rest. Really lovely write. H🌷

Thank you for your lovely comments. Teenage girls can be a strange, unreachable species, but hopefully they do know they are loved.

The poem "Love Song" is an expression of deep, unconditional love and the willingness to patiently wait for a loved one to reveal themselves.
The first stanza of the poem sets the scene by acknowledging the speaker's understanding that their loved one may be hiding parts of themselves. The second stanza establishes the deep connection between the two individuals, with the speaker stating that they knew their loved one before they knew themselves. The speaker expresses a desire for their loved one to fully comprehend the extent of their love, which is described as being all-encompassing and able to move heaven and earth.
The final stanza conveys the speaker's commitment to waiting for their loved one to reveal themselves, without interruption. The speaker's willingness to listen and to understand their loved one's needs is further emphasized. The last two lines of the poem are particularly poignant, with the speaker promising to sing their love into the silence and to fill the spaces their loved one allows them to see.
Overall, "Love Song" is a heartfelt expression of love that emphasizes patience, understanding, and acceptance. The speaker's love is not based on conditions or expectations, but on a deep connection that transcends superficialities. The poem captures the beauty and depth of love that is willing to wait and to accept a loved one completely, flaws and all.
