i'll hear your song, if you want me to

Yes, it's another love song from me
that is devoid of tune or melody
I sang it to you once before
but it was another sound that you found
could be easy to ignore
All of the words that I write to you
fall down and are washed out to sea
And the tragedy is that you cannot see past
my exterior to the realer parts of me
You dismiss my displays of intelligence
you say things that do not make sense
and you argue that I am just a flake
Because the truth is that your feelings for me
are more than you are strong enough to take
And you are in constant pain
And your eyes carry such deep sorrow
it hurts me to look at you
in fact, you hurt me with everything that you do
every action you take is for the wrong reason and I
could explain that to you till the day that I die
but my words can't penetrate your lousy self-image
and my love for you cannot reverse the damage
you are broken and irrepairable
and the feeling I'm left with is terrible
I love you softly and quietly,
but I love you loudly, but hardly at all
I love you whether or not you sleep soundly
I love you more every time that I fall
I love you even though you always miss me
I love you especially when you kiss me
I love you as if you were never really there
I love you until you disappear into thin air
You see, in your eyes I can see all of your sorrow,
but I can't help you today,
so I'll try again,
maybe around noon tomorrow.

love always,
leah ruthe
