PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

we take our differences out on each other

and that makes what we do more than simply just

a little unfair

every in road I am able to make into your tightly

locked up little heart

I do so with the best of intentions my love,

I swear

still you cry wolf at every turn and say I really

just don't care

and that I only pretend to display a wounded soul

unfocused and lain bare

approval is not what I'm looking for in your house of

overly internalized self respect

I am simply searching for a heart filled with love

and truth

one in which I can pamper and or protect

for falling in love hopefully forever should not be a sole

prospect of youth

and we who have prematurely aged should be allowed to

take part in such emotional activities instead

merely reflect

so, give me this Segway to be uncouth

now, if only I could find courage to counteract the

negative emotions these very words reject............
