Distant
She and I
can never be
for she will never
let me see
her most intimate side:
Her vulnerabilities.
Although I lead
by my example
granting ample
access to
where I’m most fragile,
she will not reciprocate
and that seals our fate –
struck gavel.

I feel this and I feel we can all relate. Her vulnerabilities. though I lead by my example granting ample access to where I’m most fragile, I'm really feeling those lines.

relationships to me the word sounds like negotiations between to foreign enemies that's just me, admire those who try to handle them, me outta here

Without negotiation we never arrive at compromise. In my experience it's always about compromise. If either one is unwilling, we're done. Thanks for the read, sir

Beautiful ,but what if you just don't hear and she is expressing , sometimes the lines of communication are blurred , sometimes we only hear if its what we want to hear . but is very true , must open up and show all your secrets and fears-vulnerabilities .How to know one's true self with out knowing this ... (facing yourself is probably one of the scariest things to do) I love your word choices in this piece . The emotion and imagery is well place . This comes from a true artist Heart ! You have inspired me to write about facing your true self : Thank you

Kavindra, I address "not hearing" in the following piece: http://www.poetryvibe.com/poetry/11179/Gray-Skies.html#.VRtYNO7F-Xy "Distant" was inspired by someone who would d@mn near go mute rather than tell me what she was feeling. I appreciate you reading it and sharing your thoughts on the topic, and I so look forward to another of your POWERFUL yet concise works of art!
