Face Value

You won't hear me talk about it much, but you can see it in my face.

How my eyes, are a dam holding back my emotions and tears.

The lines on my face, from worry and fears.

Tiredness you can see by the bags on my eyes, for I look like a raccoon.

Proof of stress by my pulled out hair.

Yet if you look closer, to get a new impression.

Take me for literary face value.

Small, but simple, a weary smile. At the top of this emotions pile.

Can't you see? You make me tired, make me stressed, make me worried, but you make me happy, and that is why I love you.

Author's Note

take this for face value (pun intedend) much love! =)

Sometime hard to maintain a relationship. Can test our patience and wear us down. But if we are lucky. It is worth the effort and gift of love. A excellent poem.
