You strongly suggest
but you do not ask
oh please be direct
and save me the task
of wonder, ponder
led to assume
alone in a room
with invisible walls
statements undeclared
the frailty of my womanhood
makes me vulnerable and scared
I am as strong as they come
as soft as they go
I am a woman that
just wants to know.
You write with so much feeling. I can envision you biting your lip or nervously twitching or tapping a pencil or something while reading this piece. All of that coming from the desire for one to - just ask.
