Frightened

To love
To love like this
Hurts
I am his love
But yet outside
Looking in
Looking for
What others
May see
In him
And in that moment
I hold my heart
And pray
So much inside
That this face
This face
That is meant to be forever
Can keep his love
From all that tries outside

There are many outside influences that can intrude on love. You have given us much to ponder in your great poem, Jo!
