~my Fears~ Poem by Mary Nagy

The silence is flooding my ears.
Your absence is feeding my fears.
I've never quite known
if my feelings have shown
as I've loved you throughout the years.

Do you know I still feel as I did?
The same way as when I was a kid.
I still worry you'll leave
while I'm left here to grieve.
Of these feelings how do I get rid?

Will I always feel I'm not enough
even though I pretend I'm so tough?
If you love me, you know
that I don't let things show
and then sometimes I get pretty rough.

Just give me the time that I need.
Don't ask things of me out of greed.
I will do what I can.
You are my only man.
Consider me your daily ''good deed''.

The payoff will be the best part
cause you've stuck with me right from the start.
In the end it will be
just you and me
so be patient, you still have my heart.
