Heart Tries to Feel, by Merri Skaar

Have I become numb for the sake of not hurting
Is it fair to myself to allow such a flirting

What do I have, where? When?
Can I learn to love again?

Will I have love when I grow old?
To just know I have someone to hold.

The treasures I sought and found in this man are things I will keep in my heart, I’m sure I can.
As I exist in uncertainty, Questioning my heart, I hold myself together as I am falling apart.

Can I face this threat that exposes my hidden fears as I try to make sense and fight random tears?
Does he feel this way too? I sometimes wonder. Panic with butterflies, heart beating like thunder.

Is this normal…. Is it part of the human condition?
Should I just push away and again go fishing?

I have choices to make. I can’t make these alone. It’s about a heart other than my own.
Once I hear the other side, I am prepared to stay or step aside.

Amendments, agreements, boundaries and compromise….
Relationships are not easy I have grown to realize.

Knowing that not once with him was a fight.
A hug and a kiss and sweet dreams and good night….
