I'm There, I'm Whole, I'm Sorry

8/20/2014

I've intellectualized...
having read Men Are From Mars
that he just wants to fix me

But I can't let him
I'm not broke
I'm not broken

I am strong
on my own
I'm independent

when we met
he saw me as
a damsel distressed

For that night alone
I played into the role
I let him be needed

He came alive
He swept in
he had to kiss me

So now
we sit as friends
assuming I need him

I said I don't
I just hang around
because I love him

and the one
who shows up in my life,
he wants to be there

I can't sit
in good taste
and let him hold me

hot and cold
I am to the man
who freely loves me

and to the one
who is there if I call
but doesn't reach for me,

I'm there
I'm whole
and I'm sorry
