Sometimes love feels
Like love comes with rules,
A hidden price, and a quiet deal-
be enough, be quit,
Fit the picture they want.
I notice Smiles
that slowly fade
when I speak honestly.
Arms that close
when my heart
open too wide.
Their kindness depends
On who I am today,
And whether I'm easy
To hold
To Praise
To please
Sometimes I wish love was gentle and Softer
That it didn't ask so much from me.
One day I will find love
that lets me stay
exactly as I am.
