"Not What I Do" Poem by Jim Yerman
"Not What I Do"
He did not talk about his feelings
instead…he hid them all away
and when she pleaded with him to talk to her
"It's not what I do! " he'd say.
"But that is what lovers do! "
"They talk to one another." she would say.
Yet, he would never listen…
til one day…
she went away.
Leaving him to ponder
as he sits alone today…
why the ones who are closest to us
should not be kept farthest away.
