PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You are such a fake
I should have pierced you miles away
Rather I let you in
To my small protected world

I really have no space
For I am too tired
Of getting vulnerable
And being broken

Nevertheless, I opened the gates
Slowly rolled out the carpet
And you slid in majestically

I let you in
To my innermost thoughts and dreams
To bare myself
To feel naked
Yet protected

I fell more than I thought I would
I felt this was right
My thinking was marred
But I was happy

Slowly and painstakingly
You shied away, going farther and farther
I tried to reach out
But I know it is futile
So I loosened my grip
I did not even have to set you free
You pushed me back further before running away from me.

Now, I see it clearer
That you were special enough
For you to be my only one
While I was enough to be
Among your many others
