Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter
And my throat
Is deep with song,
You do not think
I suffer after
I have held my pain
So long?
Because my mouth
Is wide with laughter,
You do not hear
My inner cry?
Because my feet
Are gay with dancing,
You do not know
I die.
Comment:
This was designated as a love poem and I guess it could refer to an unrequited secret love.
However, I think it would also apply to a person who is severely depressed It reminds me of what happened with Robin Williams.
QUESTION(S):
Do you think this is a love poem?
