The Love Poem

Tell someone that you love them

tell them how you feel,

share with them the intimacy

that makes your heartbeat real.

Tell someone you’re worried

about how they’re making it,

and that you have concern

for their welfare, a little bit.

Give someone a listen

and hold what they share really near,

let them know that you care

while you’re lending them an ear.

Help someone solve a problem

that might be impeding their way,

you’d be surprised how a shared solution

can brighten someone’s day.

Tell someone that you’ll help them

if there’s anything you can do,

for if we all do this together

then this love poem can come true.

again, hallmarky

would sound good to an Eagles tune. Aye, there's the rub! I suspect you hear music while you write that your reader can't hear. Read your work out loud to yourself, without the shifts and changes that lyrics to music allows. Might sound different. cheers, Jess
