Array ( [sid] => 186147 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Should Not [time] => 2019-04-21 01:52:33 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Shame should never be the blame

For showing how I feel

Embarrassment should not resent

Those feelings that are real

For if I dare to show I care

Should not make you recoil

If that’s the way, I’ll back away

Our friendship not to foil

Withdrawing some should not be done

It makes me feel weak

For in your eyes it’s my demise

Approval that I seek

But cheeks are red am feeling dread

I’m humbled on this day

Apology for being me

I should not have to say

sometimes there seems to be no way out.
when the honesty fails, and you question
just how to be true, and how to be a friend
when things that have changed, changed
in the dark, without you being around enough
to know.

Peace!

Ugh. The worst feeling in the world Jeckster. And I am far too
familiar with it, and I know full well that being another HR that you are, too.

I want to love this poem, but there is a black hole of emotion affiliated
with it that just makes me so entirely sad. And that, my friend is the
beauty and torture of your poetry. How easily it can manipulate the heart.

Nice writing, my friend.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
