Second Thoughts
Falling in love with someone
You can never be with.
Hiding behind a filter photo
A smile, body gestures
As a poet, we feel
We see, we separate
Our words with emotion
So tired, so tired my heart (Elizabeth Browning)
Even the tone throughout our write
Any reader can pick up on it.
And sometime interpret them wrong
Endless love, a little gratitude, and
most important for my soul
Peace and happiness,
Do I trust myself enough?
to give myself to another
Falling in love with someone
You can never be with, whole Heartly,
Is a dangerous move, a slippery slopes demotion?
Once again do I trust myself enough to give away
To another person, because of a smile?
Should I say that I am fallen,
And I can’t get up?
