Honesty <br /> <br />…and now I fear I said too much <br />The damage done, the email sent <br />…and I’m afraid of your response <br />Which could be so much different <br />From what I want, what will she think? <br />What have I done? <br />So my heart sinks <br />From what once was, to should have been <br />I’m stricken by <br />My honesty <br /> <br />A weekend curse I cannot rest <br />I wait all day by my PC <br />I need to know, my head’s a mess <br />The day slips by depressingly <br />So will she see and will she care? <br />What have I done? <br />I’m in despair <br />From what I said, tormenting me <br />I’m sickened by <br />My honesty <br /> <br />I sit and wait, confused, afraid <br />You answer comes I dare to view <br />Your own sweet words, my fears allayed <br />You still need me, I still need you <br />Our friendship sealed a friendship shared <br />My heart’s up there! <br />I never dared <br />To think that you, would still love me <br />If only for <br />My honesty<br /><br />Stephen Holland<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/honesty-43/
