Don't

 

Please don't look at me.

i can't say this.

i choke on the words,

though i know i must speak.

Please.

Please don't look at me.

i can't bear to see you

so angry, so hurt,

so concerned.

Please.

Please.

Please don't look at me.

i don't want you to see me

so weak, so fragile,

intangibly bleeding.

But please,

please,

whatever you do,

please..

don't leave.

 

 

note: sometimes it's difficult for me to explain things to people i care about, knowing they don't really want the knowledge they ask for, knowing that if they *do* care that knowing will upset them.. and wondering, always, if when they do know.. if they will leave.

hastily hugs, then zips out the door to drive children around.

 

In my book - If someone really loves you, cares for you, cares about you, then no matter what you say - it's a topic for discussion, not rejection. Even if the first discussion is, "Why did that hurt me to hear so much?"

 

Part of loving yourself is accepting that some else loves you enough to put up with whatever you say. :)

I love the structure. The topic is a hard one and you have grasped the emotion absolutely perfectly. I really don't think this could of been written any other way than you have set it out. So sad, so scary, but I love it. *hugs*

You know them better than I do but sometimes people need to be upset because the situation calls for it.

 

Striking piece in so many respects.

sometimes there are things which need saying, regardless.

that doesn't ease the pain of having to say it.

sometimes people don't follow the general rule of "don't ask questions you don't want the answers to"

those answers are still painful to give.

sometimes the answers are painful enough to hear that those hearing choose not to remain with the reminder, the source, of the pain.

some things must be said, whether i wish to or not.. but i always wonder if this time, if i answer, will that be the last thing i have opportunity to tell that person?

*sigh*
