MICHAEL COLLINS
DILEMMA
Too soft… too hard;
Too hurt… too scarred…
Too angry in your pain -
Too willing to lay blame.
You do not love me now-
You love him more:
Understandings reached
Just walked out the door.
Jealousy is rife-
Cuts like a knife.
Over shoulder glances…
Off the shelf romances.
Too insincere… too much faking;
Too little giving… too much
taking.
Too compassionate for your own
good- far too needy;
Too much the martyr- way too greedy.
Too many characters in this
drama-
I need to swim in waters calmer…
I see- clearly-
that I have not the wit to charm her…
There is no future in this
longing.
