Curse of the Poet

Curse of the Poet
Some will have our work
Some will hate it
Others will be dazzled
While some will feel baffled 

We can do everything through words
Still it is hard for us to say verbals

I can say I love you on paper
But in public I simply smile or give a hug
Possibly both

Why do I not tell you my feelings?
Because I am afraid you will leave me…
Then I will be alone
