This poem is about a person not facing up to reality...if someone loves you, truly loves you then they will show it.
I want to put you above all the others,
but your actions are just the same.
I want to believe your words as truth,
but I believe it's all a game.
I keep telling myself don't give up.
This time it will work. This time he will stay.
Why do I continue to try so d#mn hard,
when all you do is push me away.
A further collection of poems, many from years in the Middle East, but also the California San Francisco and Central Coast areas (Santa Cruz, Carmel, Big Sur, Berkeley, etc.).
