Lying next to you looking into your blue-grey eyes I feel too close to something and too far away from something else I wonder if they go hand-in-hand as we seem to do but I am scared to utter that four-letter word the one that opens or closes frightened because I don't really know frightened because I do really know What if I put your love in my hands and I break it What if I put your love in my heart and it turns cold What if I depend on your love and it leaves me but how can I speak of your love when mine is the witness sworn-in cross-examined and still a mystery to me I cannot possibly explain everything in the short time that we have the Fates tempt me with partial control of the duties they hold so dear and then laugh as I fail So now I must ask you to stay if not for love for something that could be it for when you leave me you leave me to a world I cannot look in the face without a tear rolling softly down my cheek |

Love's a big word - to be used with care, I think! Nice poem. |
