The Shores of Alone

I give too much.
My soul exposed to any
who express the slightest interest.

I care too much.
Get hurt so easily,
in a instant, feel crushing betrayal.

I dream too much.
It's all I have.
Can I go on without it?

NO

I want too much, apparently,
though it seems little enough-
a man to hold me close,
say beautiful words to me
and mean them.
A man who puts me first, a least for awhile.

I need too much.
I need security, love, understanding.
I need to feel appreciated.

Too much.
Because no one
is inclined to participate,
and I can't do it alone.

And the Dream..Ah, the Dream..
It is lost in a mist of cool,
elusive, unknowing absence.
I can barely see it
anymore...

Sandra...I don't believe you want too much.  Those are such simple things...maybe not even "wants", but real "needs".  And don't lose sight of that dream...may be that it's just a matter of timing.  You always find such eloquent ways to express what's going on inside you.  Hardrock

Awwwwww girl never give up!!!  In time we all shall get what we really want.  Yeah I know that damn "time" word again.  Yet the hard part is the WAITING!  Give it time girl, give it time.

Peace

I know this feeling all too well Cat.  This was a wonderful poem, and I hope you find what your looking for.  Dreams come true more often then people think.

Not too much...ever. You give of yourself because that's who you are...

Sandra seems more and more apparent to me we are soul sisters!  If you don't give of yourself you are not being true to yourself.
I too have given and not received in return, I almost gave up, then a gesture from a friend restored my faith in mankind.  Not all of them are greedy and selfish and put themselves first, just like us, the trouble is we have to FIND them!!
Also, never lose sight of the dream, for it is important to you, it is the place where your serenity dwells....
Great work hon, finding and fully understanding yourself are the first steps..

I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.....

How I know what you mean! But you certainly don't want too much. No no no. You deserve to get all you want and more.
It's a sad thing that being used makes us less happy to give. But I always say to myself: it's worth a try at least.
