Flickering Doubts

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 16, 2015


Curled up crying in the corner of my bed,
as the moon shines through my window.
I thought it would take a little time
to change my mind about letting you in,
close enough to see beneath the surface
of this scarred and tattered heart.

But you are always there,
just like a tattoo,
and I desperately want to believe
that I will always have you.

You feel so close but so far away,
it's like you're here beside me,
then you disappear and my doubts
begin to surface,
persuading me that you are only drifting by,
with no intention to stay at all...

and that thought was painful enough
to leave me curled up crying
in the corner of my bed.

    Another beautiful write, Saffie, full of emotion and sensitivity. I hate the picture of you curled up and crying all alone! You have written so many poems about this person recently; mostly sad, mostly full of worry about them giving up on you and leaving, with never an outcome to help you move forward! Maybe it's time you 'took the bull by the horns' so to speak and actually told them what you feel and what your wishes are? If they are sensitive to your emotions and wishes, you should have nothing to worry about, and if they are not, then let them go because they are not worth the knowing, and find another! I do understand why you are reluctant, which links to your past and not wishing to have your 'heart damaged further', but that position just leaves you with unresolved and unrelenting hurt and turmoil anyway. Please don't take this as being arrogant, because it is not meant to be, but my own moral code demands honesty and integrity towards others at all times and this sometimes results in 'venturing where others fear to tread' to know where I stand. Living with 'worry and uncertainty' versus 'knowing where you stand'? I choose the latter every time! A lovely write, Saffie!
