Afraid to Get Close

Watching the Cat Sleep On My Pillows 
Afraid to Get Close to Anyone and Afraid Not to 
The Need of All Creatures to Be Warmed and Touched 
The Girls Who Want Dads 
I Think the Writing Is Eating Up Myself 
Preventing Any Togetherness With Anyone 
Hurting and Recycling People Over and Over Again 
How Much Longer? 
How Many More? 
I Held Her in My Arms and I Didn't Want to Realize 
She Was Putting Her Life in My Hands
