Love Poem: Lesson

Lesson

To trust is to risk betrayal
To need is to risk emptiness 
To hope is to risk rejection 
To feel is pain

Head too busy
Heart too heavy
Skin too thin
Feel too much

Turn away from it all
Pull up the drawbridge 
Turn off the lights 
Detach and numb

Deny feeling
Reject need
Stifle hope
Trust no one
