Tears

-

Why steal

my heart if you’ve no

intention to give yours

-

Why tear down my defenses

my walls

if you do not want

what’s inside

-

Why

let me speak

words of love and

devotion

smiling as they

poured

unrestrained

from my lips? Why

-

encourage those feelings

I could have stalled

long ago

only to crush me

now

that I can’t

turn back
