Turning

You hate to see me cry
but sometimes I can’t hide
fears that flow to the surface
and spill down my cheeks
that you’ll never be happy
and I’ll never be enough
Of feeling truly alone
being something to do
when there is nothing better
love unrequited eternally
soul rendering pain
and loss beyond words
yet of all these
I fear hurting you more
so I bite my lip
hide my face
and turn away
