You definitely
Can not love

You'll just have to forgive me
There is no other way
No postnatal depression
No bipolar disorder
No nymphomania

Forgive me fear

So part of me
Not an organ
Not a fibre
Not a site
Part of every cell it has been
Just me

Perfect match for you
Needing desperately
To be needed
Abandonment
Equalling
That dreaded ridiculed unavoidable
Mental Health Ward

Now this hurts like hell
I see it
Tired eyes
Angry mouth
Bitter lines

But would you really
Want me like this?
Trapped
Captive
Slave

Please forgive
I am saying my fear
Good Bye.
