A Slew of Poems Unrevised

name a fear

Give me the tears you've cried
In stainless steel cups
Over my undeniable
fear of love
for you
Give me straining tension
& manipulation
On a platter
That I send in a text
Or from my mouth
Pushing you
To leave me
Pushing myself
To hurt
You
I want to see those tears
Make it real & raw
Give me all your heart
& fragments of your soul
Just so can throw it in the trash
Labelled
Fear of loving you...
