I Love You
By
Rusty Broadspear
I love you
Over said
Over stated
Sometimes true
At times a lie
One four three
Lovers code
I love you
Followed by
With all my heart
Tears you apart
Tears from the heart
When you know
It’s not true
So what about when
You don’t know?
Time to cry?
Say goodbye?
To throw on your coat?
Leave a note?
And with a lump in your throat
Just go?
Overused
Torn, broken, abused
Weakened, diluted
Cheapened, prostituted
Misused
Confused?
I love you
Is sometimes said
As the light goes out
Warm in bed
The stars through the window
Decorate the sky
Unaware of an illicit affair
And the one, four, three
The lie.
As I drive this electronic night
For me, I believe, ‘tis true
Harmonic waves linger, despite
My reluctance
To say, ‘I love you.’
