How Much Do You Love Me?

How much do you love me
when you cheat and betray me?

How much do you love me
when you spend days and weeks
without hearing my voice,
without seeing my face?
How much do you love me?

How much do you love me
when you can't even say it ...
when you can't even express it?

I wonder how much you love me
if you can spend a whole month
without knowing where I am.

HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE ME?

  1. Beautifully done, Shelly. These are painful and necessary questions to ask, in any relationship where these feelings exist.

    Many people can relate to wondering how much we are loved. Good for you for putting the essential question out there.
