Confusion


I don’t know

How to say this
In a way
That lets you
Know.
I don’t know
How to 
Let you into
My thought process
Without 
Scaring you away.
Expectations 
Have such
Negative connotations –
They bring with them
Such heavy burdens
And I don’t want
To take you there.
Changes happen –
Lives change
Thoughts change
Interactions change.
I am blunt
Beyond compare
But here
I find myself 
In a state
Of hesitation.
The last time
I took a chance –
It broke. 
But you picked up the pieces
And handed them back to me
So gently.
My words stop.
I can’t go on.
I don’t know
What comes next.
