A poem in the middle of the afternoon.

i try....

i try to run, i try to hide
but love won't let me stay away
i'm mix up inside, i don't know which to abide
keep holding on or let love slip and stray

i keep my distance and be all defensive
and tell myself that i am strong and this shall pass
yet now i find love a feeling too expensive
too precious to loose, too fragile to last

i cry and scream and faint and despair
but love is too insistent, it won't let me go
for love demands that which comes in pair
to have a future and strength together so

i've miss you like a crazy, isolated wolf
howling in silent beneath a brave mask
tell me what you feel or show some proof
is that too hard a request, that's all i'll ask

the pain is too much its eating me inside
tell me if you feel it, all tired and bereft
i'm not gonna run, or avoid or hide
for i have love, and love is all i have

and love is all i have.
