Never enough
Poetry: Heave my tender heart.
Never enough, or
Maybe not
What you need, or want
I give
You pause
Indecision like a record caught
A CD skipping
My heart gripping
Vulnerable, unsure
Want to give you more...
Reality check:
What about me?
They say people give what they want
Dish out what they crave
We're all wounded soldiers
Praying to be saved
I won't get down on my knees
Won't beckon to your call
If you really loved me,
Wouldn't need to say anything at all
You'd hold my head
Before it fell
Make me smile
Before I cry
But I'm sitting here alone
And I wonder - why?
Why do I hoist my affection
Heave my tender heart
The art of self-destruction?
Wreckless from the start
I massage your discomforts
Try to soothe, try to please
Exporting my love
Any imports to receive?
I want love like a festival
Big, lively and wild
Not careful and complicated
A difficult child
No tiptoeing, never a 'shush'
Dancing and a rush
Want to prance around naked
Not be told to get dressed
Want to sing you my songs
Laughter, you're so unimpressed
This is me
But it never seems enough
I'm patient and persistent
Don't think I'm so tough
Waiting and hoping, you'll give in
Let go, leave behind
Thoughts rattling your troubled mind
Every second you hesitate
Is like a minute without breath
Weakening, panicking
I refuse this death.
