I cannot love
A quiet pond, a gentle breeze
These are things I desire.
An escape, a brief moment of serenity
These are the things dreams are made of.
A soft touch, a warm hug
Only a few of many things I need.
Honesty, love, companionship - Fears
I cannot be true to others if I cannot be true to myself.
I am afraid to love.
I am afraid I will hurt another.
Isolation feels mandatory for me.
Friends-I have plenty
But a mate I cannot have.
I do not want to hurt again, not myself or you.
I shed tears for myself in pity of something I cannot do.
I cannot love, not if love leads to pain.
These are things I desire.
An escape, a brief moment of serenity
These are the things dreams are made of.
A soft touch, a warm hug
Only a few of many things I need.
Honesty, love, companionship - Fears
I cannot be true to others if I cannot be true to myself.
I am afraid to love.
I am afraid I will hurt another.
Isolation feels mandatory for me.
Friends-I have plenty
But a mate I cannot have.
I do not want to hurt again, not myself or you.
I shed tears for myself in pity of something I cannot do.
I cannot love, not if love leads to pain.
