The Big 'L' Word Poem by Douglas Cline

Exposed or revealed, I felt betrayed. A wall was up, my heart was frayed. Even though it did entreat and implore. It was a place never more to explore. I wanted to go there, don't think I did not. Just never to stay long enough to get caught. Suddenly, as if out of nowhere, I was cast down. In it's waters I began to drown. You may think it is crazy, but it's not absurd. If you knew my reason for believing in The Big 'L' Word.
