persona non grata

thats right...
I can't truly say
that I know that you care for me.
So all I really have is my hope and my fears
to comfort me and share with me their non company.
beyond any doubt...
If you could love me
I would Love to love you.
Love should keep us together
if love is really true.
Still it's not so easy
and my understanding is far from clear.
Do know I can't embrace feelings all alone
and I feel persona non grata around you my dear.
Do know I hate feeling all alone
and alone seems to be my biggest fear.
Am I just kindof unwelcome  
or totally unacceptable as I fear.
Truly my hopes and dreams hope to find you near
Makes me kind of sad that my desires seem
unneeded and remain unfulfilled around here.
Everytime I look around I find you far away
and not as close as I would hope my dear.
Persona non grata has come in to play.
Words designed to keep me away...

persona grata...a person who is acceptable or welcome.

haunting words, James...people feel like this more often than they admit I am afraid...
  Afterthought: Irony is that I found this on page 3 with one reply...Deserves to be at the top as you are a poet of calibre!!!

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
-Enigma

James - I like the way you addressed this subject - the title says it all.  I hope this isn't your current state of affairs.  There's a special birthplace for the kind of pain a cold shoulder can sire.

             The door is always open
             you'll never need a key
             and what you'll find
                    inside,
             are all your friends,
                 including me....

         You need never feel alone here...
              and we need you.....


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

Thank you LngJhn, English Rose, Paula and Sunny for the wonderful responses.
LngJhn one woman is warming my heart right now and a few are giving me the cold shoulder.  I don't understand why I am attracted to women that are hard to get...but I am coming to my senses and I will grow to love and appreciate the one who gives to me...hopefully.
thank you Sunny you are so warm and friendly and make me feel welcome...James
