Love and Trust

Love and trust 
By Michelle Morris
31/01/2023

You say "I love you"
But I don't feel your emotions
The words sound trite
Completely hollow 

All your sweet words
Mean nothing without action 
Time to make an effort
If this is a relationship

For love is what we do
Not only what we say
We can't just play a role
That looks good to anyone 

I love you, I miss you
I care for you, I do
But it does truly hurt
When you play it cool

This space grows between us
Emotional distance with time
If we can't be authentic
How can our actions match our lines?

If we love each other
We need to reveal the truth
Be willing to act with faith 
Be willing to thought of a fool

True love is rare and precious
We need to treat it with respect
Love and trust with our hearts
Light and hope to our souls invested
