Just You, Me and Reality pt 4
10 minutes later
We arrived at the fair
Ironically "falling in love" by Elvis Presely was playing
She had a disappointed look on her face
This song sucks
How so?
It's all about a guy not being able to lasso his feelings
Might be like that from your perspective
But to me I see it as him being selective
He tries his best not to rush but accepts that she is what he needs
Aside form that, why did you drag me across the town?
Well I got upset when I saw your frown
I'm still mad at you
I don't really care
This is a moment I want you to bear
Stand back and relax
You are always trying to cheer me up
Just chill and grab a cup
We walked around
I was quite proud
I finally singled out that feeling
The one that gave this girl her meaning
She's been twisting up my mind
She wastes so much time
Just to try
To get me to smile
Can we go to the far end?
There's a bench around the bend
Sure why not?
Can I ask you a question?
do you have a guy that that is there for you?
Is there that special someone that fits like a good shoe?
You put in way to much effort
One day you will get hurt...
I don't, I never have
I don't want to put myself through that pain
I've seen how it affects people
Just look at you, all weeping
That's true...
We passed through the crowds and got separated
I couldn't see her, it was 15 minutes later
I stopped where I was to observe my surroundings
I heard her voice in the distance
Two steps forward one step backwards
I felt a finger poke me in the back
It slid down and fell towards her lap
She looked at me all teary eyed
Why are you about to cry?
It's just something in my eye
Don't get lost again
It's hard to track a short person
(Can I hold your hand)
Sorry I can't hear you in this noise
I felt her hand grip my arm
I was shocked, I flared up in alarm
You can't just do that!
I don't want to get lost again
You mess with my brain
Let go of my arm
walk in front of me it will be fine
You are an idiot
I wanna go home I'm over it
Not a chance you are leaving
You still haven't seen what I'm needing
She punched me on the shoulder
Stop treating me like you are thousands of years older
Fine
I was nervous I didn't want to experience what had just destroyed my mind
I patted and said a silent prayer
I silently asked to please keep her near
I was overcome with fear
Take my hand
I'm not sure if I can
Just do it. Be a man
(Be my man...)
I'm not sure where your hands been
And you say I bother you?
I'm sorry, no can do
I don't want to be hurt again
I don't want to feel that pain
-I'm sorry- is all that I could hear in my head
I'm sorry My hearts been over spent.
Just leave it, it's fine
I've wasted to much time
Please don't take it that way
I'll be ready again one day

I hope that 'one day' would come. Ready to face reality, ready to fight love and ready to accept both.
Beautiful
Again another fantastic poem about the struggle of putting one's self out there. It is always the fear of getting hurt again. Great poem!:D
Thank you, I haven't been able to reply much lately, Have you posted again? I would love to see it :)
Don't worry about having to always reply. Yes, I've been writing one post each day for Steemiteducation. I don't tell you because I usually don't want to bother you. I've just completed a series on bullying in the schools and have started another one on autism. I'm trying to educate people on things that they need to know about. My passion is to make this a better world. Thank-you for asking Ethan. I hope you are well. I really love the changes I sense in you. You are an extreme good person who deserves much more. Take care! :D
Thank you, I would never be bothered by your link, I would like to support you in your work :D
Thank-you Ethan. I will in the future. You are really a good and wonderful person! :D
it always look as if one is in a reverie
gently trudging that path from obliviousness
a love mesmerising the innermost heart
only a zilch at times, but worth having.
it comes with pain and gruelling emotion
fiddled like a clatter of keys in intense doodling
with time we plunged, with time we rue
excellent post there mate
