What Have I Done? [CTPWC]

What Have I Done?

Did I speak it into existence?
Is it now a knife twisting in my heart?
Did I unleash what I cannot tame?
Does it now consume me?

I told her I love her.

I stripped myself to the vulnerable.
Will she respond to my nakedness?
I’m so far from shore,
and I’m a poor swimmer.

I told her I love her.

Why now?
Why here?
Why her?
Why me?

I told her I love her.

I’m unfair, unrealistic,
impatient and improper.
She needs time and space.
I see it on her face.

I told her I love her.

I’m so scared,
frightened of loneliness,
shamed by betrayal,
afraid of rejection.

I told her I love her.

I don’t know the rules,
I don’t understand the game.
To love and be loved,
just aren’t the same.

I told her I love her.

First flag! Very nice poem my friend. Did she tell you she loved you back? Just curious.
