Words Poem by Mal Sharp

I wish I knew the words to write,
The words to make your eyes alight,
The words to soothe away your plight,
To send you soaring to great heights.

But alas the words I do create,
To you don't seem to hold much weight,
You put my words through much debate,
You say my words I overrate.

These words that I have shown,
Whispered to you alone,
Though stated many times before,
I love you, of that I am sure.
