WILL HE STAY?

I can see why he,
doesnt wanna be with me.
After all, now he knows,
why my door is often closed.
Is this how,
it will always be?
Will I find anyone,
who'll accept the real me?
Will I have to live my life a lie,
with everyone wondering why I always cry?
I told him too much,
& he got scared.
He told me that,
he always cared.
Everyone wonders why I live behind,
this fake wall all the time.
I'm afraid everyone's gonna run away,
like Keith wants to,
though I wish he'd stay.
I can't make him,
it's just not fair.
I wish my past,
I did not share.
So will he stay,
or will he leave?
All 'cause of my past,
he doesn't want to believe.

*He gave me forgiveness, but he can't forget. I should've never told him & now I'll regret. The truth's just between us now & I can't take it back. I can't hide anymore, it's too late for that!*

"If I gave you more than touches & kisses & granted all your wishes would you stay?"

It's not fair keeping things from people you are in/hoping to be in a relationship with, but I can't help wondering the nature of this secret past.  What could be so bad that it threatens any type of relationship this much?

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look

You should never hide the real you...you earned the right to be that person

Elmo~I'm so sorry that you were hurt and I hope that you will be able to put that hurt behind you someday so that you will not have to live in fear of it again. You are doing a wonderful job expressing the way you feel. Keep it up! Hugs!

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!

I appreciated your thoughts and feelings in this verse, as indecision is part of us all.
Just hang onto how you feel, and keep writing about it.
