Uncertainty

Me, sitting here in the corner
biting my lip
wondering what will happen next.

Should I seek shelter
or stand in your view,
do I shelter myself under a blanket of humility
or stand proudly exposed?

Will you devour me
just to toss me aside
or will you feast upon me
and swallow me down into the depths of you?

Will you consume my soul
so that I may be one with you
or will you send me to the fires of Hades?

Tonight when you are done with me
will I be your sweet angel
or just the she left discarded to be alone-
with thoughts of her own uncertainty?

On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free.

Sea, I don't think it means we are ever really fickly, but more so it just proves we are human,
with human thoughts and emotions.  Thanks Sea.

Alle, so true.  I think sometimes they honestly don't know just how it is we feel, or perhaps they just don't want to know.  Thanks.  

Jon, sometimes the situations just occur wether we want them to or not.....lol.....the trick is recognizing when it is a situation.  Thanks.

Ah Sven, yes.......our dreams are what carries us, so yes, I agree.  We all must keep dreaming.  Thanks.
