The Love Note
©2016 Susan Noyes Anderson
She loves him with a love profound,
but not that well-expressed.
The sweetness sings inside her heart
but rarely leaves her chest.

She loves him with a love profound,
but not that well-expressed.
The sweetness sings inside her heart
but rarely leaves her chest.
“You’re the worst decision I ever made,”
he said. It nearly knocked her dead.
She’d given him her heart so long ago.
She didn’t know how much that gift would cost
and she had lost herself. She wasn’t faultless…
Away and away to the black-bottomed sea
sailed her man on a whim and a wave.
“No creature above or below escapes me!”
was the promise his blushing bride gave.
A wedge of years has crept between our hearts,
though we are of an age in days alone.
My waning health your self-esteem disarms,
for you absorb my limits as your own.
Unfair I may be, but I’m not
quite certain of that fact.
It’s hard to be objective when
you judge the way I act.
Love has an underbelly.
(Yes, my darling, even ours.)
There beneath the hearts and flowers
lie the burrs and scars.
Don’t like my style?
Then run away.
Don’t shake your head.
Don’t have your say.
Sometimes, in a cafe,
he gets hungry for
the red plate special.
Don’t make him blue.
