Alone I Cried

Here I am in my forties,
and feel as if I've been through too much....
It's somewhat sad when I realize,
How little I've been touched.

I've had a few say they loved me,
and yes, I've made them cry,
when getting too close scared me,
I chose to say goodbye.

Actually there's been only one or two,
that my inner fears I told,
let a chosen few see my demons,
and gauge the depth of my soul.

They understood my "coldness",
and my need to be tough,
but were angered and confused,
when I pushed away their touch.

I'd do things to make them hate me,
just so I wouldn't get hurt, or done wrong,
but how I miss them,
and how much I hurt, when they were gone......

And alone I cried......

With no one around to comfort and sooth,
guess I showed them....guess I won!
Or in fact.....did I lose?
