i can not love you more
i can not love you more
than i have loved you
for i have loved you long
and held your love so dearly
in my heart of hearts but now
my eyes have opened
to find my heart in mourning
and when the first bird
sings outside my bedroom window
he sings a sorrowful song
for you have found me lacking
though i can not understand
the how and why of it
and yet my love for you
was gentle and long suffering
than i have loved you
for i have loved you long
and held your love so dearly
in my heart of hearts but now
my eyes have opened
to find my heart in mourning
and when the first bird
sings outside my bedroom window
he sings a sorrowful song
for you have found me lacking
though i can not understand
the how and why of it
and yet my love for you
was gentle and long suffering

Perfectly penned & I love the sense of timelessness in your poetry, Faith. This piece reminds me very much of the wonderful work of one of my favourite 19th-century poets, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. "How do I love thee / let me count the ways."
A beautiful write, my friend, & I love it! :)

Very beautiful and a mixture of sorrow and a hint, tiny hint of hope
