If Poem by Matt Gotlieb

If life is rich with love
And love is rich with life
Than I am poor for I
Have no life filled with love
Or a love filled with life

With friends as few as stars above
And enemies as many as dodo’s on earth

And a love that fills me not
And a sorrow that drains me not

I am incomplete without love
And I am lost for courage
To ever be loved

Yet a strong sort of love fills me
As I see her face before me
I know her name and that is all
I see her face and touch her hand
Without the knowledge of what I do

But dream I do, and hate I don’t
And I smile
……… what be a smile
And I laugh
……… what be a laugh

I am dead inside
If not I find love soon
I am dead inside
