Arms Length

I want to write to you the endless paragraphs I dream about sending you,
Then shut the door behind and never look back but what good will it bring?

You’re too good for me, and I hate that. 
I’m fragile, and clingy,
One wrong move and i’ll crumble. 

I hate you, I love you,
I wish you knew how much you hurt me at times.
You don’t know it, and you don’t mean it I’m just blaming you too much.

I need to stop, I need to limit us,
So now I’m going to keep you at arm’s length now, 
No more and no more.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
