Why Won't You Let Me Love You

Mixed messages confuse my mind
Sometimes I experience a receptive sign
A fleeting flirtatious teasing invitation
A temptation, to which I succumb
Only to encounter an invisible barrier
Then the distance becomes even greater
Double-bind messages all the time
Seem to state, "come closer," only emptiness to find
I peer deeply into her eyes
And acknowledge where all that fear resides
It wasn't me that she hated
But rather her own inadequacy, unabated
Little did I know
The self-loathing that would unfold
Rejection with which I dealt
Evolved to be her inadequacy I felt
It wasn't me that didn't matter
Rather her self-esteem was shattered
It wasn't that I was undeserving
But her belief she was not worthy
Fear of rejection set the parameters
The trigger was she felt inferior
That led her to resist my approach
Her self-defeating behavior, beyond reproach

Will, this was an excellent example of a battle "desire vs self-worth"
I have been witness to this also, and find it heart breaking to
say the least. What we, as humans, are meant to have is
so simple. And so completely lovely. I don't understand why
so many of us feel we are not deserving of it. It is truly one of
the sadder things on earth.
Great job, here. Smoothly done and extremely emotive.

Truely a thought provoking piece, Will. You always touch on things, which are tangible....real...human. I always enjoy reading you because of that wonderful honesty that comes forth in your work. Thank you for sharing.

One of the reasons perhaps to repeat the phrase ... "we are our own worst enemy" ? Ii is hard to let someone else love you ... especially if you aren't comfortable with yourself first. Nicely presented Terry.
