i have always
been on show
they said
i only like you
when your
vulnerability is on show

the person
i really fell in love with
they could never
really appreciate my worth

and if someone should come along
and blow this poem apart
i would like to think –
i still have all the available heart

and home truths bought in –
honest and sanity
and they taught the love i had
a lesson or two
through diagram and reason

relationships glued together
a meal for two
a started of lucky heather
forging a partnership
out of odds and ends

it is like a switch
it flicks
and suddenly –
you are in another place

inside my head
when i find myself there
i am asking, is this it…
what if i meet someone else
will one person be enough
