Afraid to Get Close

<br>Watching the cat sleep on my pillows<br><br>Afraid to get close to anyone and afraid not to<br><br>The need of all creatures to be warmed and touched<br><br>The girls who want dads<br><br>I think the writing is eating up myself<br><br>Preventing any togetherness with anyone<br><br>Hurting and recycling people over and over again<br><br>How much longer? <br><br>How many more? <br><br>I held her in my arms and I didnt want to realize<br><br>She was putting her life in my hands
