super-

human strength to get

through the day when

evening might bring pain

or

worse, love, only to have

that love stolen away.

I hold tight to my heart,

otherwise

it might get broken into

tiny little pieces. Taking

a chance on that would

mean you definitely

have to be crazy.

THAT KIND OF DENIAL

Of course means

I must be in love.

Fighting that love

as best I can.

It’s a hopeless battle.

I’m already heart-deep.

Don’t want to be.

Love scares me.

Do want to be.

Love summons me.

Don’t want to be.

It’s an illusion.

Do want to be.

It’s pure magic.

Don’t want to be.
