[hometext] => Love isn't a game, and people get hurt when emotions are toyed with...
[bodytext] => Can't wait forever for a snail to crawl my way
I've given you so much, yet nothing you say
perhaps what I'm feeling is "wrong"
Maybe the truth is You and I don't belong
the trust you lack could be your downfall
Not giving an inch---you only stonewall
What more could I say or do?
Why can't it be enough that I feel for you?
I could love you so much if you gave me a chance
you're at the door; just step through the entrance
I sigh so loud---if only you could hear
but the only thing that penetrates is your unborn fear
I'm saddened and discouraged; was this your plan?
I just want to be loved and held by a caring man
What have I done wrong...have I chased you away?
Now I lay my cards on the table in full display.

I wonder sometimes if men are capable of real caring. My reaction to people who play with hearts is that they should be strung up by it and left to their own devices trying to get down. jmho

That is a powerful write, but very sad it is when your capacity to love so far exceeds his. How does one meet their needs with someone who always wants to flee from fear of true commitment. Beautifully expressed.
Well done, Scorp and thanks for sharing

Good write Scorp....the first time I read it, I wasn't sure if I liked the last line. It felt like you were forcing the rhyme. So I read it again, adding a pause after 'table' and it fit well. (Sorry...not trying to nit pick...I just try to give my honest feelings when reading and commenting.) Anyway, really good write and my favorite lines were...
the trust you lack could be your downfall
Not giving an inch---you only stonewall
I really liked them, strong, vivid.

| Scorp, another powerfully great write from you. This is awesome and it is sad. How true it is that the one we love the most can run from us the fastest because of their own fears. I’m sure you have done nothing wrong. Sounds like you are just a deep caring person and some people just can’t handle that. Btw-did I say this is a great write? Truly strong with emotion. Very heartfelt. |

Awesome.
I stay away from love.
It restructures your life. Things get complicated and when they get going good someone bails...
Too much drama. I don/'/t even take the time to know people anymore. I loved this write....
Shame these archives get put to the back.
Loved it. |
