Sleep My Love: Poetry

2/5/13

Why do we allow ourselves

to be vulnerable to hurt?

I never understood.

I don't get why our hearts and minds

can be so foolish to believe

anything someone says.

Is it because they tell us what

we want to hear?

Is it that we just don't notice

the lies lurking underneath their

beautiful eyes,

or do we just not care until

we get hurt?

But I can't find an answer.

I'm full of questions,

But no answers.

Help me find answers.

I'm broken and scared.

I don't want to feel this

way anymore.
