Afraid

I have learned
my lessons
from hurt
and you
wonder why
when I
chance to again
put my hand
out too quickly
I pull back
I know
you do not
understand
I am
tender and
it takes
so little
to break
my heart

Sometimes when we reach out
it gives another, the courage
to reach back

Two tender hearts?
I think that would be perfect
