COCKLE BUR

Folder: 
JOURNAL#4

even though you're a pain in a place

where upon this page I can not speak of

in your eyes, that is when you choose to look

at me

I sense under that cool facade a bursting and

brilliant love

though you disguise your feelings and real reactions

to me so in variably well

whether you love or despise me I can't really tell

so, I live on in my limbonic version of hell

does the term 'unrequited' ring a bell

it seems you have me in your power or under some

kind of spell

these feelings of uncertainty I can not redirect

or quell

until truth can make itself fairly obvious or

known

you, Cockle bur, I must bid fair-the-well

and know that I am not sorry that for you

like a builder's bricks I foolishly fell.......
