Passivity of My Heart

Not now,
but when I was younger,
she used to lay with me,
not that she would say,
but I would say,
in my favorite position.
She felt so close to me,
not that she would say,
but I loved the feelings
that lingered there.
It made me feel like
I cared, that's not
what she would say,
but I honestly did care
for her, or was it just
the physical connections
that made her feel so
close to me, perhaps she was
not feeling so close at all,
or as she would say,
I drove her away with words
I did or did not say.
As she would say,
the passivity of my heart
failed to do its part.

Agreeing with Sea...although adding, the truest way to self, is through self exploration...willing to see the flaws and wanting to correct them....perhaps by talking to her, maturely and openly...

But again, it is not the way you are now, we all grow and cultivate...

Excellent prose

Thank you Sea, Lee J and passing shadows for the nice responses...this was about my ex wife and I don't really want to talk to her right now...but I would if I thought it would be of value...just thinking about how we saw everything differently...but it would be unfair to say that we were uncompatable...because I know that I didn't do my part...maybe we could have found compatability...James
