9/4/19 - Why We Can't Be Friends


With you in close proximity
My reaction would be distressing
There's no way to heal
The wounds left from guessing
Falsely what I feel
And no way to obtain
What I want
What I need
To be safe and secure in your love again

I need more from you than you're capable
I need the freedom to be able
to live imperfectly
Where mistakes are accepted
Learned from
Forgotten
Not used to blame and shame
Months or years after forgiven

I need unconditional love
I want 'til death do us part
Not kicked to the curb with a broken heart

I want reassurance
Of your love in perdurance
When life shreds my confidence
I need to be cognizant
You still find me appealing
Loveable
Redeeming

When the dark of depression descends
And it will
When I haven't it in me
To fill
You with love, affection, attention

Don't decide for us both

the love I still hold
Has gone cold
Frozen, never to return

Understand I still yearn
To love you
To please you
I want you
I need you to treat me with kindness
not let your propensity for blindness
give vent to Derision
Beration
Frustration
Recrimination
Aggravation
and Chastigation


Know the light will return
It still shines
It still burns
though dimmed
I shall never cease to struggle within
to magnify and reflect any love that you give
