An Alternative

"When you kissed me

I didn't feel that you wanted to be loved.

I felt that you needed it.

Like the bonds holding you together would break

And you would collapse through my fingers like sand

If my heart didn't have a single beat for you.

And I'm so sorry.

But that scared me.

You are too trusting in my touch and

I am not confident that I am

What you need.

I have to ask you to

Let me go."
