Surrendered

He was so difficult to penetrate
it was like trying to infiltrate

he stayed strong
would not be strung along

until that day he cried
trying to cover it up he lied

so I let him be and gave him space
until he felt ready for my embrace

from that moment I felt like a hero
this me is needed, no longer a zero

he needed me in an unique way,
I did not feel like a cast away…

Men try to hold in their emotions more than women, Wilma. You were right in giving him space until he could accept comfort. Beautifully written, my friend. And I want you to know how much your support has meant to me in the past week. Thanks so much! Love, Carolyn
