Scientific Magic

poetry speaks

I never say it,

though I know I should.

How should I smile to the one who sees me cry?

How do I speak to the one behind me?

You always say it,

though I know you would.

Why do you love to smile when you're by my side?

Why do you blush when it's my eyes you see?

We never say it,

though it's because we know.

We know who's to blame for these dreadful scars.

We know who's war started our painful lives.

They never say it,

though it's because they show.

They make us hold hands as they tear others apart.

They make us fight for love created through lies.

We need not words,

nor any reason.

We will be cold to many and kill many more.

We represent love in its purest yet dangerous form.

I never say it,

though it clearly shows.

I'll protect you just like any knight.

With a sword meant to take, a sword meant to fight.

You never say it,

though it clearly shows.

You'll stand behind me and comfort my tired body.

With hands meant to heal, with hands that are deadly.

We never speak about it,

but it's because we know.

This world wants to hurt what we hold dear.

These people want to tear us apart.

So to protect our love, we'll give them fear.

We don't need words, as we yell in our heart.

The slow build up of aggression and hostility, a reaction of fear to having something dear to you at threat. Deep poem indeed, I would say ''and comfort my tired body.'' like the tired body part, if that can be described in a more ''showing'' rather than ''telling'' way, it may deliver more of a punch. Sorry I make no sense, I love your poem!
