Tears

My lover, please forgive my tears

and pretend not to notice

my body trembling


I was not afraid to share

my physical nakedness with you

but somehow you have undressed

my soul


I was filled with confidence

as I kissed your neck

and caressed your tender breasts

but now, I am cautious, as you

kiss my soul

and caress my fragile heart.


Now, as my tears fall

from my body to yours

I watch them travel over your

smooth skin

and I wonder…


I wonder if my tears are tears of anger,

for I now realize that I have never truly

been loved

or,

if they are tears of fear,

for I worry if I will ever be loved again.
