Love Poem: Like the Beach Needs the Sand

Like the Beach Needs the Sand

Why do people walk away
     Am I so easy to leave
Despite the effort and the love
     Too often, I grieve

Do I do the same to others
     Have I done so in the past
Is it just life’s complications
     Causing good things not to last

Perhaps, there’s no awareness
     Communication nowhere found
That’s caused this dark blue feeling
     I keep losing so much ground

Insecurities take over
     Not knowing where I stand
I know that I need people
     Like the beach needs the sand
