Sincerely

Don't you dare
say you care.
For strange things happen
when you reveal how you feel.
It's happened to me
a hundred times before.
Well perhaps not that many times
but quite a few I'm sure.
Just as soon as you tell them
they get all psycho on you
testing your resolve just to see
what you will do.
The part I really despise is when
they say look me in the eyes.
Hell what makes anyone
an expert on sincerity?
And anyway when will
they say that they care?
They wouldn't dare.
I ask a woman I knew
if she cared for me.
In response she said she loved me.
I have no reason to doubt her sincerity.
Just not sure if I believe anyone
could care for me.

Wonderful pondering James ... it's sometimes so difficult to believe in what we hear. Very nicely done.  

Best wishes,

Hi James...
Well, what it all seems to boil down to is that we see our own insecurities reflected back to us in the eyes of those we love.This is a great one, my friend...with great thoughts built in!  

The road goes on forever, and the stories never end...
