A Stale Love

Meet you eye to eye and whisper words of love

Then turn away and watch my tears vapour above

Hold you tight everyday as you wave good bye

Later face this sty alone as I suffer and cry

Cook you a hearty meal and watch your satisfied smile

Still hear from you that I'm intolerable and vile

Always have your back and give you my shoulder and lap

In return watch you poke my heart and give me an emotional slap

Kill them with kindness i'v heard and tried

But today you taught me that love is not blind
