Just A Kiss? Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

Just A Kiss?



Just a kiss, just a kiss, and all will be well
the hurt will be gone, I know, I can tell.
Just a kiss has the magic for soothing the pain
that rough words have caused again and again

Just a smile, just a smile, even though it's pretend
has the power to make all the suffering end.
Just a smile from those lips that formed words once so vile,
forgotten completely within that fake smile

Just a word, just a word, spoken soft in my ear
will make me feel safe, allay all my fear.
Just a word, maybe two, will help me forget
how I've lived in such fear since the day that we met

Just a kiss, just a smile, just a word's all I need
to heal up a heart you've made constantly bleed,
but perhaps ‘just' these things are too easy to say
what I really should do is to ‘just' walk away....

A very nice poem beautifully crafted to tell your story. Nice word can change the heart in a second. Love should build upon trust and a feeling of care for each other should be there. Nice poem. Thanks for sharing. 'Just a kiss, just a smile, just a word's all I need to heal up a heart you've made constantly bleed, but perhaps ‘just' these things are too easy to say whatI really should do is to ‘just' walk away....'... is very nice stanza.10++

Thank you so much, so often people in an abusive relationship pretend to themselves that a smile, kiss or a word means that the abuser has changed or will change but that rarely is the case and sometimes walking away from that situation is the only thing to do. I appreciate your comments Thanks again. Lodigiana x
