Tell Me "I Love You" Poem by Michael Eziudo

I cried my eyes out once
For nought had I had it since
Any that would look me on, true
And tell me "I love you"

I long for it often and time
But you look me like you would a slime
And pass not mentioning a word
One sentence could make you seem a god
To this heart that's so troubled

And scarce the words remain
And zeal and passion fade in
Care and concern chased far
For the kindler's head did hit the bar
And no more does anyone tell me what I so pursue
Nothing but the words "I love you"

That weary wondering son of man could regain hope
That hungry battered child could smile still in hope
That aged lonely folk could live longer
And each man's gloomy mind comes brighter
If only they'd hear from you
Nothing else but the words "I love you"

But we are ignorant of many things
And so misunderstand the words
We are selfish in many ways
And so the words we abuse
And this sentence' authenticity questionable
For we use it where it's comfortable
We fail to say to those whose hearts we can make anew
The words "I love you"

Parents say it not to Children
The community says it not to this orphan
And oh, dear government what about to your people
And to the government dear masses it's so simple
In acts in thoughts and in words let it be true
When you say the words "I love you"

Yes the world will stay a better place
With these words that can melt a rocky heart
In matter of time and space
We will have ill to live without
Say to one you know just new or you knew
Tell them the words "I love you"
And you'd be amazed what reaction comes back to you
