    Lovers, not Friends

    You are my love, my sweetheart
    I share my bed with you
    I share my life with you
    We should be of one mind
    But why can't I call you Friend?

    I trust you with my life
    Without you I am incomplete
    Yet I am still reserved
    To share all I am with you
    Is just too frightening

    Is it because of past mistakes I have made
    Being too naive and too trusting
    Or am I afraid of being hurt
    Wounded soul that I am
    We are Lovers, yet not Friends.

    There is some pain here, I feel and sadness at the reality of the relationship. Nicely expressed...

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
