Two poems of loss.
You caused me pain,
And you taught me fear,
You showed me that people always leave,
And that being alone was my destiny,
Sadly I believed you.
I spent my days in dark places.
And showed only hate and despise.
In the end I was even more alone than before.


I bottle up my feelings,
For fear of your rejection.
I don’t allow myself to get close,
For fear of being pushed away.
I express your image,
For fear of not being accepted.
I won’t let myself out,
For fear of your response.
Some call me paranoid,
Others may call me cautious,
Therefore, I keep myself away
Locking it up for no one else
And the sad thing is,
You love me for everything that I am not.
