last night
I tried to tell you my fears
But all I got was your needs

I tried to express
that I was afraid
of something you said
But it was reversed
to make it my fault

All that I wanted
was your comfort
your warmth
Yet I landed
in a bed full of thorns!

I was going to highlight the entire poem, as my favorite line...and then decided to simply express the saddness in this....remembering a time when I was here...God bless you and keep you....wishing that he takes time to listen.  

Hugs to you

'generalizations' can be rather sadly
dangerous and ultimately hurtful....
to both the maker and makee!....

I won't be rude or hypocrital to say that men have no feelings... because just as many women have no thought to how their mate feels... being too wrapped up in themselves...

i guess what i mean to say - is it goes both ways.

peace

Lynn~  I totally agree with the what you have said... Most men tend to lack the ability to be sensitive to womem.  Where I have seen women destroy extremely sensitive men... ironic how that works!  It  goes both ways.

Some relationships have a mutual understanding of selflessness toward each other and some do not have that balance...
