Denial

You offer me redacted love

And I accept

That I get the censored you

Telling myself that

You’re not ready to commit

Yourself wholly

Because you’ve been hurt too much

And as such...

You need time

You need to see I can be trusted

With your heart

If I give you the time you need

And give you me

Totally

You’ll come to appreciate

All my womanly warmth

All my unique gifts

And since I have convinced myself of this

I am ridiculously accommodating

To the point of being nauseating

I make myself sick at the thought

Of what I'm tolerating

Yet the revulsion of being alone

Feeds the compulsion to be with you...
