Why

Why do I feel guilty? Why do I feel like I always do something wrong? Why do I feel the need to hide things from you? Things that I want to share with you, things that make me happy... I thought we are in a partnership, I thought this meant we share everything, I thought this meant that mutual happiness is what we strive for... it makes me sad, when I feel like an outsider, especially when I’m not trusted, especially when I’ve done nothing to warrant your distrust... You’re my niche; you’re my partner for life... I don't want to feel like I’m cheating on my best friend... Right now? That’s exactly how you're making me feel...

Thats deep girlfriend. if you ever need a hiding place check my poem called "Hiding." I'll lend it to you, the hiding place that is. I enjoyed this one. A lot of questioning of the emotions.

It's sad when an emotional rift develops between loved ones, Wilma. Perhaps if you share this poem with the person for whom it will written, it will be an eye opener and help restore the relationship. Love, Carolyn
