“why am i always running around in circles

between wanting you to want me

and when you want me

deciding it is too emotionally naked

for me to live with

why do i make loving me so difficult

why am i that terrified of being kept 

as though someone as pure as you 

should never have to witness the ghosts

i have tucked under my breast

i used to be more open when it came 

to things like this my love

if only we had met when i was willing"
