Because This Isn't Love (That Much Is Clear)Words by Kristin Garth QuailBellMagazine.com Do I believe your anger or your fear while counting pills enough to do me in? Because it isn’t love (that much is clear). My hand so full, you can’t find room for more. “You have to do this right,” your voice so thin. Do I believe your anger or your fear? Your hand atop my own and those blue spheres
that represent the answer to my sin because it isn’t love that much is clear. And then you pull me close; you call me dear. The first time since you learned how bad I’d been. Because it isn’t love (that much is clear). Though I don’t speak, you feel the question near. Will I give all myself from soul to skin? Do I believe your anger or your fear? “The love I felt, you made it disappear. But if you do this thing, I will pretend.” Because it isn’t love (that much is clear). Is it defeat, the need to have you near that makes me take each pill, lie down and end? Do I believe your anger or your fear? Because it isn’t love (that much is clear). Comments

Hey..I love this piece. I like the refrain 'that much is clear'. Like a song. Maybe I could write a song using these words. Would that be ok? Comments are closed.
