A Poem Written by Vivian Ennis 11/02/01
Not feeling accepted by those who say they love me
they seem to want me to themselves an not to be free
the word love to me has brought a lot of pain
creating storms and the cold rain
Why can’t love be a different word
I realize that may sound absurd
but love has always meant to me abuse
for people who say they love tend to use
It seems to me that people say
they Love all who come their way
but I feel that it should not be said
just because you share someone’s bed
But love would be better if not spoken
If we want our hearts not to be broken
love is so much better if action is shown
Then there will be no hearts broken
Action is what is needed before you say the word
So that you are believed not just being heard
because words to me don’t mean a thing
Real action makes my heart sing

The last few poems I have posted were from a time in my life of major changes and growth. I do not feel this way now for the most part. Vivian Ennis
