Always Only Me
When I came to you Sarah
To give you the words from my heart
My heart was racing
My mind was in jumble
None of my fanciful words would come out
I had to get away
Afraid of the rejection
That might come about
All my poems, to me, are meaningful
And I was afraid that you'd laugh
Afraid I'd make a fool of myself
Afraid of anything and everything
That could come about
So I ran from you
And back to work
Where I could think
Without your beauty
Without your personality
Without you
So my mind would be clear
And now I know that I should have said
From the beginning all the thoughts
That I keep locked up in here
Maybe then we could have been we
We could have had a future
But now I see
There will never be any "we"
And it will always be just me

Or go back to Main
