By Pandora Poikilos
Don't tell me
This is love
Tell me instead,
Where we were you
When I needed you most?
Don't tell me
About all the countable ways
I've hurt you
Tell me instead,
Why did you rob
My childhood from me?
Don't tell me
This is letting go
Tell me instead,
That you accept me
Just as I am.
Don't tell me
This is thoughtfulness
Tell me instead,
You'll listen to how I feel
Instead of telling me
How I am supposed to feel
Most of all, don't tell me
This is about the many ways
I need to change
Tell me instead,
How perfect are you that
you don't need change?
Don't Tell Me

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,

I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
