Poems of Loss

COMMUNICATION
November 1981
_______________

You talk to me but I don't hear.
I talk to you, my words aren't clear.

We only hear what we want to,
But to explain the words are few.

If I could say just what I mean
All of this mess might be a dream.

We have to learn what we're about.
Communicate and talk things out.

To understand the reasons why.
To give our love another try.

To overcome my speechless thoughts
I need your help. Now, make me talk!

The only thing I need to say
Is that I love you, in every way.
