Top Secret

'for your eyes only'

Sometimes I try to figure out
what is going unsaid
But sometimes with the troubles I have
they are better left unsaid

Should I just give a card
and leave well enough alone
or throw caution into the wind
and break my silent growns

You indeed have found my full attention
and with it comes good intentions
but in all fairness I must first mention
That a darkness is held over my commission

And what is my commission ?
The pursuit of one who showed
a little intrest in me
But if my eye's decieve me
I beg that you forgive me

Burn this note with all my pursuits
find my flatterings of little use
Please treat me with as little abuse
as one who loved with little excuse

Love a be a series of mixed signals. It comes down to, if you don't try what do you have to lose. If it was not meant to be it won't be. Great write. God Bless Phyl

Another great verse, John! In relationships, it is sometimes best to let go and have some things "go unsaid." But it is, indeed, perplexing when one we love gives mixed signals. Thanks for your comments on "She-Demon." I'm enjoying your work very much! Carolyn
