this poem has no title...i felt that it speaks for itself and has no need for one...


a music once played in my head
and words came to my heart
though i never spoke them
only felt them

the music is gone once more
the words turned painful
as i sit here curled up with
a teddy bear

it seems so long ago
that you gave it to me
did i ever tell you thank you?
or what you mean to me?

i couldn't give you
the complete love you needed
romance, words...
they were all beyond me

you never once said
i wasn't good enough
i suppose that was only
my thinking

so i kept you at a distance
and when that seemed too hard
i ran from you without
explanation

i wish i'd told you
what you really mean to me
but all i could do was run
leaving you confused

so now i sit with a teddy bear
and letters i've read a thousand times
pictures of us together held
till they're nearly falling apart

you said i'm forgiven
but i'm still sorry
for all you did was try to love me
all i did was give back pain.
