caught

you love me

but

you are caught
between
two worlds

split in half

old world
new world

longing
to
be
accepted
by
both

except

you love me

you can't decide-
where you fit.

pain
worry
fear
tear you up

but
you love me

you show it-

they're set in their ways

they refuse to see

they refuse to admit

that
you love me

  1. Still reading and still loving this. I did go back and read your responses to my comments and am glad I wasn't reading into it. Great stuff--I'm thrilled you've found an outlet in writing, since it's giving the rest of us some terrific poetry to read.
    I hope you keep going and still think this could end up as a bound collection. I'm starting to imagine some black and white or sepia toned photo scenes as I read. No people--maybe blurred though, or hands together or laying inches apart or something artsy like that, or maybe just images of some type. Are you by any chance also a painter or photographer?

  2. i am not an artist or much of a photographer. i have a few gems that come out. i like how you are plotting out how it should look all together. i'm glad you're enjoying it.
