"Why don't you want me?"

Why don't you ever want to make love?
What is it that's wrong with me?
Maybe it's that I don't satisfy you, or
Maybe you're just no longer attracted to me?

You say you're scared of too much sex...
In fear of our relationship basing itself on that.
But I don't understand why you think that of us,
When you know our love is based on everything but that.

When we're together and alone,
Making love to me never crosses your mind.
I don't understand what the reason is...
But maybe the reason is something I don't want to find.

I know you love me unconditionally and true,
For that I have not one doubt.
But why do you never express desire for me?
What is this all about?

Making love to you is a special connection,
That before I've never had.
Is it something that means nothing to you?
Or maybe it's something you've already had.

There are few ways to express my undyinglove for you
Making love would be the most passionate way.
But you shut me down nearly every time I try...
You reject me almost every day.

I'm almost scared to express this desire again...
Scared of the possible reason why.
In a way it hurts to be shut down
Almost every time I try.

But I don't want to say all of this to you,
Because I'm scared you'll be angry with me.
And I'd have to wonder when we do make love,
Would it only be out of sympathy?

So I'm stuck in hurt and rejection,
And I have no idea what to do.
But please know that still, no matter what...
I will always be with and love you.

WoW you have bared all your soul here, so brave.
The poem was very personal and intense but none the less a good one.
If you don't mind I think I'll email you...

It is the harmony of the universe

Nice work and if it's truely part of your life, very touching.

 If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name. (Michelle A. Bartley)
