Language Barriers

Why is this how you interact with me?

Do you see me?

Do you even know me?

.

.

.

The kind words that go unspoken

leave my heart longing

for recognition.

.

It pains me to not hear

what I know you feel.

.

.

.

When you give me things

it’s not the same

as when you spend

time with me.

.

.

.

I see you talking your own language-

keeping the house clean,

cooking dinner for me,

and keeping the cats alive.

.

I see these things but

they are not deeply felt in my heart.

It’s because my own predisposition to love.

.

.

The way you speak to me,

of love and comfort,

of companionship and loyalty,

of trust and faith…

with actions of love,

does not resonate as well

as when spoken in my own language.

.

.

But slowly I am learning yours

so I can feel love

and speak to you how you understand.
