try to learn, <br /> and know my name. <br />see and hear, <br /> but don't feel my pain. <br />laugh with me, <br /> and say what you can. <br />keep me close, <br /> but don't let me in. <br />peer into my thoughts, <br /> and tell me yours. <br />keep open the windows, <br /> but lock all the doors. <br />enjoy the company, <br /> and divine admiration. <br />kiss me goodbye, <br /> but avoid confrontation. <br /> <br />(04/28/07)<br /><br />Frozen Beauty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-not-worth-it/
