What If

I should write poetry
And dedicate my favorite poem to you
And you would not read it
If I should sing my favorite song to you
And you would not listen to me
If I should tell you a funny joke
And you would not laugh.

Still I would give you my love
Which means more than my poems
Even more than a dedicated song
Or a funny riddle or joke
I will still give you my love
Even though you say…
You no longer care.

I was inspired by:Langston Hughes, one of my favorite authors:-)


Thank you for this poem and the "What If" poem. It seems like you are speaking directly to me...isn't poetry beautiful like that?
Thank you again.

If I didn't show it, you should know it
When I cried at night, you were there
When I thought of you, you were there
When you left my life, you were there

Your jokes and words are still there
There in my mind, there in my heart
Were you laughing
Playing with my heart

I heard your words, they touched my soul
I've heard those words before
I no longer care, how dare
They must have cared more
