FAITHFULLY
     After you gave me
your necklace
time, affection, conversation, passion
it doesn't seem logical
for things to change
but then again, love
we were never ones for logic
Faithfully
weighing pros and cons in my head
plucking petals of flowers
he still cares, he still cares not
never really finding the answer
please tell me
for the garden is becoming barren
Faithfully 
I am insecure
I am weary of trusting 
I am afraid of being hurt
I am afraid of being alone, (I am afraid)
faithfully...
a letter
a sentence or a novel
ink or lead
and when you lick the envelope
have caution
a paper cut on the tongue
can sting
faithfully
I care for you
not knowing 
where you are 
how you are
and what's happening in your life
am I still apart of it?
faithfully?
Is it too much to ask for
an answer to that question
You'll probably never see this poem
and all the while 
how I long to call you
but the ball is in your court , (or so they tell me)
as if it was tennis match
a mere game
we both know
it is far more complex
Faithfully
roaming the halls of limbo
searching for the red exit sign
which seems no where in sight
I often wonder if I am to intense
perhaps for my own good
giving you the benefit of the doubt
I remain yours, confused, 
faithfully
