The constant fear
That I've betrayed myself
Eats away at me,
Stripping back
Every little layer
Of this new happiness.
I only wanted to be
Exactly what you needed,
And so conceded
When I should not.
I dont believe
That I can share you
In any way
Resembling freely.
You mean more to me
Than anything,
And just the thought
Of surrendering you
Tortures me.
I am terrified
This would destroy us...
As it would destroy me
At the very least.
And I wish,
With all my heart,
I could be the everything
And the only thing
You needed...
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
