Blisters: The Journey Begins
As I break ground
my hands form blisters
"Why are you hiding?
Just tell her you miss her"
With axe in hand I will turn solid earth to fissure
I'm human; all too human
Can I handle the pressure?
One...two...three... One...two...three...
I establish a rhythm
as I listen to the sound
of other men sinking
"She's moved on
You read her wrong"
or are those just excuse
to not carry on?
I've barely made a chip
but I'm proud of my reflection
I'll dig down deep....or slip
under the waves of depression

All too often,
when miscommunication exists
we dig our own shallow graves.
Unrequited love?
Hmmm. . .maybe

I suspect honesty is the answer here. I'm not communicating out of fear. Once I act more authentically I'll feel a weight lifted, even if I don't like the answer.

Honesty is always the way to go
ESPECIALLY when an unrequited love is involved.
I wrote something from the (my) POV where a really close friend who i knew (at the time) for many many years (she still sends me Christmas postcards every year of her family) who shared her love for me but i didn't feel the same (romantically.

I haven't even shared my feelings. In fact, I've communicated the opposite of what I should out of fear.
I love your work on the topic! Thanks for sharing!
