Running In Circles

I once had a friend, A friend that I fell in love with, She hid herself from me: to be worthy, I was too pure, and burnt her with my light, She knew she must become more to be with me, Honest, giving, serving humanity, She knew of self-love, Something that was beat out of me as a child It was beautiful for me to see, I thought she could teach me this, I knew I had so much to teach her, Symbiotic: my favorite word I trusted her, she never did trust me She loved herself too much to trust another, Too afraid to be hurt, or go into the pain And share it with another: the healing, She runs away from it, avoidance, running from herself, her past, I am glad she is running in circles, She will return to finish this with me.
