You speak of Love

You speak of love so freely
You say its from your heart
Yet all the pain I feel within
Is tearing me apart.
You tell me that you love me
Yet rage is all I see
I watched as anger consumed you
And stole your heart from me.

You taught me love was gentle
Shared between a women and a man
Yet you seem so distant
I do not understand.

So as I turn away from you
and slowly walk away
My only wish I hope for you
Tis love you'll find one day.
