Share A Little Less

 I will give a little less,

To protect myself,

Of all the chats we had,

Of all the stories and thoughts I shared,

I was left wanting for something I could never get or have,

I was left wondering why did I allow myself to expect?

Why did I get accustomed to it all, when I knew I would not get what I wished for!

Now I choose to stay quiet, not share that much,

Be more formal and just acknowledge your words,

When deep inside I hurt, when I want to express the way I really feel,

But, I need to hold back, because I am not sure you will be able or willing to handle the weight of it all.

I might be wrong, I might be right. 

You may know deep inside what's really going on or I may assume that you don't tell me all!

But, for the time being, I will protect myself and share a little less....
