"If you cannot love me then understand"


Poem Artwork

My Own Universe

a sonnet

Never again! I must never depend
Upon another for my happiness
Elusive as it is as I suspend
Between what I deny and I confess

It is just I need so to be loved and
Find it is so impossible to be
If you cannot love me then understand
This aspect of my human frailty

I wish I could be utterly alone
Yet that is not what I want in the end
But rather to be known as I am known
My want and wish is that I had a friend

Now just as always for better or worse
I keep to myself my own universe

+Steven Curtis Lance

At some level each of us lives in our own universe... Maintaining a balance between the social requirements of loving and solitude can be hard-won.
An engaging, resonant write, Steven.
Peace,
Carolyn

I can so relate to what you express here, Stevie. I am certain that many others will as well for you describe a part of the "human condition" which many of us are afflicted with. Thank you. Love and best wishes to you,

Regis

Dear Steven,

Sometimes it seems as though no one is there, but we are. Here. Right now. Thinking of you and praying for you. Steven, you are not alone.

Everyones number one need. To be loved for better or worse.
"It is just I need so to be loved and
Find it is so impossible to be"
thought provoking and emotionally moving write.
God Bless,
Lew

The need for friendship and acceptance is natural Steven and all we can do is be a friend if we want people to be our friends. I hope the words of this painful expression of feelings is mostly metaphorical because your talent is still too strong to be squandered. Hang in there old friend...
Felix
