Poetry With Meaning (Not Just Words)

Poetry With Meaning (Not Just Words)

A Poem by Brigid Cooley

I want you to be blunt and to the point when you speak to me.

Honesty is something that I search for in people.

But at the same time, please be gentle when you tell me things.

I have taped myself back together so many times that I need to be handled with care.

I am sorry if I am asking too much of you.

I am aware that I can be a handful.

It's just that sometimes, my heart aches at the idea of having to live a life without you in it;

that's why I'm trying to slip you cheat sheets in the form of poetry.

It would probably help if I told you that they were meant for you, huh?

I am not always good at honesty, but let me give it a try:

I want you to understand me.

I want you to see me for who I am.

I want you to want to see more of who I am.

I want you to want to know me like the back of your hand.

I will give you all of the answers.

Just, please...ask me the questions.
