I understand You
Behind your starry smiles,
Behind your quiet silences,
Behind your love for friends,
Behind the words listened, much less spoken,
I wonder what you think,

There’s a lot you in there keep,
A place full of depths,
Worthy of very few,
Never really known,
And this I understood.
Amidst the care you show,
Amidst the giving you give,
Amidst the eyes that sparkle,
Amidst the people with whom you sit,
In between the self whispers speak,
And this I understood.
And now you answer me,

For the laughs we shared,
Smiles we hi-fived,
My outpourings to thee,
The concern I received,
Where is mine to give?
A shell I see,
Invisible, intangible, but there,
A pain I feel,
Throbbing, aching, that hurts,
What is for me to offer?
For in your silence,

And your manifest tears,

You get better and better.:*

Very well written poem.. :) you should try more poetry aakriti...
'I am not selfish, I just love myself more than I love you' :)
The toughest thing to do is to feel the pain of someone else and turn it into a beautiful rhyme of meaningful words. You excelled here :)
It might sound brutal but if I can't keep myself happy how can I keep you happy ? For all the people who you wrote this poem for , they deserve better of themselves :)
