Blank

You ask me to love you

But yet you

Refuse to let me in.

You ask me to hold you

But you shudder

At the prospect of touch.

I want to be near you

And love you.

But how can I

If you cringe from my

Presence.

I wish I knew

How to get to you

Without damaging you.

When you smile

It is false hope

That maybe someday

I’ll stand a chance

At holding your heart,

At touching your soul.

But you turn from me

When I offer you my love.

You tell me you need me

But shrug me away.

Your cold hands

Offer no support.

I need you

But I need myself more.

When will all of this end?

I’m here on my own

Only myself can I give.

Is it enough?

I fear it’s not

And if so

Let me go.

Let me move on.

The music has stopped

And the light has gone.

I am drained

Of you.
