I am empty

I am plain

I am done

all the same

do not seek me

I am insane

from trying to become

free of my blame

somebody loves me

but I do not know who

what can they see

in me that is so

worthy of trust and confidence?

what can I give that won't give offense?

I wish I knew what to say

I wish I knew anyway

but if you love me

enough to take any risk

be careful... I may fail you easily

even as your intentions insist

on what it totally

beyond its control

oh be careful when you love me

I may drag you into a hole

of despair and I won't mean to

but that's how it will go

because I am done...and you

will come the hard way to know...
