If you only knew (Haiku)
by Robin PattersonTrickle down my cheek
Blink! Was that a falling star?
It never happened
12/26/2005 Author's Note: This is a painful reflection of what I tend to do to guard against being vulnerable. Yet, I know the truth. If I never let anyone truley see me, I might miss the opportunity to let them love me unconditionally.
