Reflections

Time for reflection
That’s what I’ve gained
Alone with my thoughts
Starting over again

Another heart loved
Another love lost
Another home broken
That’s what it cost

I want it to end
My breath! Her pain!
Don’t want to go through
This! Ever again!

Perhaps this time I’ll learn
And see my mistakes
And instead of running,
Apply those brakes

Am I scared of love?
Of sharing and giving?
Or looking for someone
With my view of living?

Am I hard, am I cold?
Ungiving? Unforgivable?
Or adventurous, ambitious
And just wanting  it all?
