I Love You.

I do not write to make you happy, nor to hear you agree. I write to make you think as thought will set your soul free.

 

I love you, such words of power,

like a thief your heart took.

Words that have lost their raw luster,

merely a worm on hook.

 

We give the meaning no meaning!

Shaken it to the core.

Delve past the spoken, take action,

show you mean something more.

 

 The moments that fell by the way,

replaced, by I Love You.

Rekindle its fire, create spark,

by the things you can do.

 

A man can lose his voice its true.

Be known for what you do.

In a world that has lost all trust

Show them that, I Love You.

 

~Melody

"I love you, such words of power,

^^loved that stanza:)
Anyways the whole poem was very good, and a nice and not over-used concept. Well written indeed. Good job:)
God Bless

Such an often used phrase that is used so many times that people forget the true meaning of it. Your poem brought back the meaning, good job:)

the ending brought me to tears! bravo!

Some words have great power. When spoken with honest and true emotion. Love can create great change and lead us from sadness and hate. I like the description and the positive desire in your words. Thank you for the excellent poem.

In one way I don't think I Love You can be used *too* much, but I also agree that many have used those precious words to ensnare and capture, not being sincere in their regard.
I Love Your poem.

You speak such truth. We tend to forget the spark that began it all and the words we speak are hollow.

I've enjoyed your thought du jour.

beautiful. just absolutely beautiful. your talent does not cease to amaze me. this is how i feel. this poem speaks to me and my heart in a way that only so few have. you are now in the small, elite group of writers that truly speak to me. and for that, i commend, and thank you. for allowing me to view such a stirring work of pure artistry.

I am so humbled by words such as this. I simply lay out in verse what everyone already knows, just forgets to remember.

I must have thought that there was nothing more
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word"

This is so beautiful and it's true that now these days 'I love you' has definitely lost its meaning due to people overusing them. There has been times where I wish I didn't tell the guy those three words since my mama always tells me that's for that special guy for when I'm a lot older. I now sit here and wish I would've listened because now my heart feels sort of broken and shattered because of saying the words too early.

"We give the meaning no meaning!
Shaken it to the core.
Delve past the the spoken, take action,
show you mean something more" Wow those lines really speaks for what I mentioned. In this world, if the person truly mean those words I wish they would show how they feel that way instead of just saying them for the heck of it.
Bravo, wonderful job!
