Look Away

Look Away

A Poem by Barbara Borel

I caught your glance. It pierced into the windows of my soul.
You saw me. The real me... raw and naked and you didn't look away.
For all the good in me and all the horrific in me. You did not look away.
You became enthralled. You and I played like children in the Wonderland called my soul...and you did not look away.
Now it is so, that you are mine. What is left of my withered heart and all of my soul. With sprinkles of sweet kisses and long embraces you made me a queen.... and then when the tears made a river of sorrow... your eyes fell out.... and you looked away.

I get the feeling from this that the person who didn't look away never really knew pain like the speaker. Then when they either took some of the pain on, from the speaker or they experienced some personal tragedy they couldn't handle it.
Enigmatic write Barbara Borel.

Well said ..Ouch but you knew that already, you embraced love and friendship as ownership . Stripping yourself of Independence and confidence leaving your soul vulnerable. Love yourself first then you stand tall and strong and content to be alone , alive and amazed
