Not Able To Understand Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Love hiding within hearts, afraid to shine because they
may end up being hurt in the long run.

Wishing, listlessly living their lives, not able to share
with anyone else because of their self-centeredness.

How cold and lonely their lives must be on a daily basis,
unable to understand their way of thinking.

Preferring to give my heart away, sharing love uncondit-
ionally with another person.

Maybe being hurt because of it, but then again maybe not,
just reaching out with hope.

It seems much better to me than aging and becoming bitter,
never tasting the sweetness of another's heart of love.
