That empty smile

I tell you I love you
You simply smile back
I tell you I love you
You respond with a nod
I tell you I love you
All I hear is an 'I know'

Pointless
Meaningless effort

Do you not realize how mad you've made me
How completely insane?!
I pour out my soul, I give you my all, my heart
And yet all you can say is I know

Do you not see how this is breaking me?!
Aching me, shaking me, irritating me!
Are you that completely blind to my burning pain?
Do you see nothing?!

I tell you I love you
You simply smile back

Content, with that driving eagerness finally slowing down
