I love you was only a simple saying
Three words that never held meaning
Uprooted by others profanity
Lost.
Saying them meant making the other happy.
But in all honesty,
Hurting the tongue in which it was spoken from.
Lies.
Love used to be rarely spoken.
Left unsaid until marriage.
Quietly the feelings built,
Long.
Hope built inside.
Like castle walls,
Slowly building cement concrete bricks one by one.
Lonely.
When spoken...
Softly like rose petals.
Harsh like a 20 pound weight.
Found when thought lost.
Love.
