Damaged Mess

by Baby Rainbow   Oct 25, 2015


It feels like I am always trying
to love you from afar,
because from a distance
it feels safer to accept your love.

But if I couldn't be strong,
remaining at arm's length,
and I cried out for your love,
would you say:
"lets run and hide to a place
that is always safe"

or,

would you pack your love away and leave,
because you weren't prepared
for the damaged mess
that lives inside of me?

    Yes, love is always so much safer from a distance, isn't it? The problem is, when we find love, we simply can't keep far enough away to stay safe, can we?
    Another moving write. All the best
