WHIMSICAL POETRY

I run about
I cringe in doubt
I scream and cry 
I don't know why
I want to hide
I must decide
But I cannot - I am afraid

Please hold me near
But don't hold me here
Just let me go
Not too far though
And if I stay
Not hiding away
Just show your love - if  you've any for me

But if I leave
Please just believe
The love I crave 
To keep me brave
I cannot find
Within your mind
So I must flee - in search of love

The truth of this love
Or the lack thereof
Might make me cry
But please don't lie
Just say what you see
And If I need to flee
I'll say fare well - And I'll be just fine

I can't understand
Please lend me a hand
The words I fear 
Seem mighty queer
Some thoughts I heard 
Are missing words
Or mixed with words once spoken by you. 

And so, confused
I run to you
Without a thought
A reflex fought.
Within my mind
I try to find 
The words you said
But to my dread
My greatest fears
And oft cried tears
Are over words - for they are only words.
