HUH?

you think I write these poems for you
to please your ears and eyes?
these so-called pretty words I write
are loaded up with lies?
you think I use particular words
for the sake of rhyme?
pretend that these are truths to last
the very end of time?
you think I sweeten these with words
to make you smile and laugh?
and never mind if they're not true
their sweetness is enough?
you think I waste my time with these
to prove that I can write?
or maybe measure up to you
because you are so bright?
you think that these are only words
with no life of their own?
no heart and soul and with no flesh
not even a single bone?
you think no love is in these works
you feel no care in them?
for you are they just lifeless rocks
and not a living gem?
My God, you break my heart in two
for you I gave my best
yet you have doubted all of them
I lay my pen to rest...
