Too Close for Comfort and Then Some....

Why do we always hurt the ones we love most

Is it cuz we are afraid of getting too close

Get closer, go away

why do I feel this way

I want you near

you are so dear

why does it scare me

do you dare me

to tell the truth about

the need I have to shout

we are all afraid to be hurt

so we tend to dish out the dirt

and scare others away from us

and feel free of them and thus

able to be

solitary

is that the desire of my heart

I doubt I can figure it out in my art

if you get it

hope you don't regret it

I don't regret sharing

and appreciate your caring

I know I don't want to be alone

and yet often feel so alone I moan

there is a reason for everything

poetry lets my heart sing

so maybe it is good I feel that way

there may be more poetry some other day
