Secrets  wrapped in mysters
Bars around my heart
I can only cause you misery
Don't let the feelings start

Tears under the guise of rain
Half truths, but not lies
Caring for me only brings pain
In the end it will be you who crys

I don't wan tto hurt you
Don't let me in your heart
Yet still I'm drawn to you
Don't let the feelings start

Maybe I'm too weak
Unable to say goodbyes
But listen when I speak
In the end it will be you who crys

Build bars around your heart
Embrace the truth as a lie
Don't let the feelings start
In the end it will be you who crys

Right now it's okay
You call yourself a friend
But it will happen one day
And I already know the end

This is the end, my only friend the end..
Hope you don't really feel this way hon, you don't kill every relationship that comes your way.. I can't believe that.
Superb work!

You know, I feel the same in a lot of ways here.  Like people are only setting themselves up for pain by caring about me.  In some measure like I (although I want to) can never equal the love they're presenting me.  Good poem, StarrGazer, really had me reflecting on this one.

Angel Usagi, just_another_fe, Isis, Sven, Michael - thanks for responding to my poem

Now to answer the  question "Do I really feel this way?" yes to some extent I do ... I'm wary of everyone, trying to figure out their hidden motives even in fact if none exist.  I guess trust doesn't come easy and I don't really give it the chance. What is a relationship without trust but a heartache waiting to happen... and as Michael said I feel like I don't deserve the persons love or am not worthy of it and  one day they'll see throught the illuison they have made of me and it will be them who is hurt because I've known all along I was not worthy and  took their love anyway ...

Great poem StarrGazer. I relate to the emotions all to well. I too find it hard to trust people. I also find it hard to belive that the ones that seem to love or like me just pretends to. Keep on writing, hug to you ~Broken

 I`m running out of time, I`m out of step and closing down, I never sleep for wanting hours the empty hours of greed. And uselessly always the need to feel again the real belief, of something more than mockery. If only I could fill my heart with love. -Robert Smith

Great poem, applies very much to me in my life right now, although in a slightly different way to how I imagine you intended.

I really like a girl but I'm leaving the country in a month, so I don't want to get involved because I know it will have to end, and it'll only bring pain.

I like the girl so I don't want to bring her pain, but I like her so I want to get involved.

Your poem summed up the paradox I'm in nicely.  Thank you very much
