Shy

By Lynxear

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It was just a compliment, nothing special really just words in a social setting, required for the moment, although I meant every one... Don’t feel obliged, to return the favour to become interested, let me observe at a distance, where I am safe... No closer, I beg of you, you will be disappointed I am not as I seem. It is just an act, bravado, the real me is much different... I let no one in to my hidden world not anymore anyway. Tried it once...maybe twice it hurts too much to try again... So, let us join with the others, allow me to play my role to laugh and joke, then we shall part. {God!...you are beautiful.....} (c) Jim    Oct/99 Written October 1st, 1999 © on Nov 28 2001 12:48 PM PST   0 • 10
