It made me look at this poem a little closer - the desire, the fear in dependenc, the break down in communication, the mixed message at the end, wavering between words and emotional/physiological gesture. There's a complexity here of unspoken thoughts, needs, and emotions, that really speaks volumes on the way people go about their hit-or-miss relationship foibles. Its a much better poem than I originally thought. Reading the comments of other readers oftentimes has that effect - it makes me open my eyes a little wider and see what I was missing.

Funny how our adventures in love bring us to some brink of bliss or destruction. Is love a leap of faith--surely it is or why would it be sought after yet avoided at the same time. The images in poem and personification used, though traditional, still grabbed me and held me in its teeter-tottering embrace. Sometimes i think when we say 'i don't love you', what we mean is 'i can't love you'. Thoughts? 'Give me your heart, make it real, or else forget about it!' --words that seem plastic until you experience it. hmm. yeah.
