Ha. I love the last line... Denied indeed. The thing is KL, even when we really are saying what we feel and feeling what we say, the observer will always put a spin on what they see as well as what they hear as to distort any hope of perfect synchronization. Only when there is a pure trust will we believe and choose to see what we heard, because we already know who the speaker is within their depths...
I like this little bit of sarcasm.
Have to fight, my impulse to sigh, at the truth, written before me, but I can't. I have been there, with a close love one, who's eyes, spoke of fear and shame, while denying it, to my face. As pain digs deep, into my soul, every second, I'm around them. Thank you, KL, for putting these experience, into an elegant poem, for us, to share.

Your welcome, KL. I hope things, get better for you.
as writers we put our hearts and souls into what we write.. we bleed those words.. they are us, we are them.. and I have never put faith in what other people say.. always been a head scratching situation for me.. chalk it up to trust issues, knowing too many manipulative people, or those who carelessly throw words around like "I love you", but their actions prove otherwise.. this is one time I agree with the cliche---actions speak louder than words.. of course a few other quotes come to mind as well.. it isn't what you say or do, it is how you make them feel.. another lovely piece that speaks truth.. :)

you're more than welcome, and unfortunately, I certainly do..
This right here brings a new meaning to a relatively new term in IT and the world of electrostatic impulses .To not be in sync, jesus! if your phone isn't what a drag, but what happens when two destinies aren't in sync? No synchronicity. So is not that the wrong emotions are present is just that they are out of phase.
Quantum love maybe?
Thankyou

What we say and what we do don't always match. I always go by the action but perhaps with enough dancing around each other you will find the synchronicity that I think you crave.

Perhaps, who knows. As always, no one knows the future.
The point where there is no point but neither will call a halt to matters. Perhaps the expectation has been too harsh too quickly and maybe given the antecedents going with the flow and the adiction would have done?

another poem about holding back...oh but those lips are silently pleading....
hoping they can give what the eyes wish...the love is there in the garden if only we can nurture it....with a letting go of emotion and trust.

Yes, there is a lot of that, holding back, thank you.
Makes me wonder if they'll ever let the two bleed into each other. I suppose it's how you look at it. but I feel the sadness within the poem.
