Love is a Four Letter Word
February 21, 2010
I didn’t want to hear it
Part of me wishes I hadn’t brought it up
I was afraid of the answer
Afraid of the truth
My stomach formed a tangle of knots
Both my eyes seemed to twitch
As I desperately tried to close them
To stop the flow of tears
I wept and moaned in agony
Of the words that hissed from his mouth
To my aching ears
It hurt
In ways I couldn’t even imagine
I wanted him to hold me
But at the same time
I didn’t want to feel anyone’s touch
Including his
Trust is a complicated word
