One to many

I thought

I had an amazing connection with him

That we clicked at first sight

But for him

Who had precociously acquired

The skills

To amazingly connect to

Anyone he chose

At the click of a finger;

It was just an ordinary day

Feet of clay

When you discover

That idols have feet of clay,

You are, no doubt, disappointed

And deeply so

But also secretly relieved

Because you don't have to

Live up to them anymore

Two ways of avoiding intimacy

Running away from it

Or plunging headlong into it

Pretending it does not exist,

Pretending everything is

As normal as can be

Even in the depths of soul baring

I love you?

Took me so long to discover

That for you,

It does not mean 

You will try and make you happy

But that

I should

Try and make you happy

whose faulti is it

when you say
(what you think)
the world wants you to say

and the world thinks
that's the real you

All love fades

But that doesn't mean

That what doesn't last

Isn't true

By any name

The reason you do not

Attempt to control

My actions

Is simply that

You  seek to control

My feelings

Possessiveness

Of another kind
