Does my intensity bother you? <br /> <br />Does my longing make you step back and wonder why? <br /> <br />Do my words choke off yours? <br /> <br />Would you prefer the coy, make believe of convention, <br /> <br />Or have I not understood you at all. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Am I projecting my desires onto you? <br /> <br />And are you being a mirror, when it suits you, <br /> <br />Turning on the charm at will, or turning away, <br /> <br />To keep me wanting and waiting. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Or is my soul mistaken that what we share is special, <br /> <br />And what lies ahead, a barren desert of wilted desires. <br /> <br />Tortured soul, questions abound, soundlessly fall away, <br /> <br />Do you hear, will you answer, <br /> <br />And what will your hearts' desire be.<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/have-i-gone-too-far-2/
