Please don't let me fall in love.
Don't let me hurt again.
I am a fool to Cupid's tools-
His arrows bring such pain.

You say my words effect your heart-
But you could never know...
Each gentle word you write to me-
Does strike my heart a blow.

A fool, you say; and so I am-
But still my soul can feel...
My melancholy words of love,
Thought trite, are very real.

So write, my darling, I will read-
But I shall not respond...
To do so, gives birth to my tears...
And makes a tighter bond.

Don't break the shell that I have formed-
Protective barricade...
Defense so fragile, by love stormed-
Too often, low is laid.

John,  there is a great deal of sensitivity
and love...as well as feelings within this
poem...I hope your world gains all of the
good that could come from this poem and
what you have said within it...

Hello.
It is all too often in this world that the gentle soul is so ill-treated. How fortunate for us all to share your special gift. A reminder to never give up. ThisDiamond
