Rain on pines

As I sit

I am exhausted 

I have been

This sick 

One other 

Time and 

Almost died 

It was very 

Serious.  

I am feeling

A way about 

Us. 

Nothing you

Have done 

Just pressure

I have put 

On myself. 

So as I 

Sit watching

The rain

Hit the

Pine trees

I let it go. 

Feeling like

I can never 

Be sick 

In front

Of you. 

Feeling that 

After your last

Girlfriend you

Deserve a 

Healthy woman.

This need 

To never 

Inconvenience 

Anyone got me into 

Trouble before. 

I look at 

The pine 

Needles as 

They stay

Together 

Like a cocoon.

No worries 

No pressure 

No expectation 

Just living. 

I let all

That drift 

Away 

Closing my

Eyes and 

Trusting your 

Love. 

All I see 

Is life...

And all those 

Expectations 

Float away
