Tell Me

Tell me you Love Me

but tell me the truth

Tell me you need me

but tell me no lie

I’m tough and strong

I’m small and weak

I can do it on my own

I need you… hold me

I’ll get up early I’ll work all day

I’m tired and my body hurts

I’m smarter, I can do better than that

mind is shut down, refuses to think

Don’t worry about it, no big deal!

I’ll cry myself to sleep

Smile big for everyone

inside, I’ve come undone

But that’s alright, that’s okay

tomorrow is just another day

[Coyote Poetry]

I understand the poetry. We need to know the truth. Better to know sadness and move on than wait for a love that will not bloom. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
