Barriers Poem by Raya McManus

I feel a barrier beginning to
grow between us, and it's
getting thicker everyday.
it's getting to the point
where i'm not sure if i know
who you really are anymore.
Sometimes when we're together
i feel uncomfortable and awkward,
like i would with a total stranger.
Sometimes i just want
to tell you that it's over
between you and me, but
my heart tells me not to,
to give you just a few more days.
so i do, but those
few more days never make anything
different everythings stil the same.
i still have that awkward vfeeling
when i'm around you.
sometimes i just want to
hug you and never let you go
and have you tell me that
you love me and that nothing
between us will ever change.
