In an upside-down garden

I keep you close to me,
holding you at arms length,
watching your every move.

I hold you close to my heart,
afraid to let myself love you,
afraid I will get hurt.

What's the deal when you say,
there's nothing wrong,
but it's obvious there is?

What's the deal when they say,
there's not a hope in the world
that we'll ever be together again?

I keep you close to me,
but you're so far away,
and I want to pull you closer.

I hold you in my arms,
afraid of life without you,
afraid of what could happen.

What's wrong?
why won't you just tell me?
Just let me know.

What's wrong?
Are you afraid to?
I'm afraid of love.

I keep you near to me,
afraid of what could happen
if I let you go.

I hold you by my side,
just wanting to melt into you,
to not be afraid again.

Someone once taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think of you as long as you like yourself.  That's what I live by.

You keep holding on don't you?? You will willing rip your heart out if not for the feeling than for the person that you want to hold dear to you. I respect that, that is meaning and that is Love... and you poem is living that example in itself as does your words.... /Nick/

It don't matter.  He don't give a *crap* anyway.  I wish he would just give me a chance.
