I am to blame too...

I am to blame too -

for my worriless smile always inviting

even as my eyes warn

"we shall get hurt"

- tho'our touching skin is light

                             as feathers.

Shouldn't we guilt-trip my over-arching

overly dramatic way (the impulsive-neurotic)

                                of giving it away?

If we are to fault one for wanting it together

and simple, using time up as currency

to wane hurt , drive away anger

then why don't you fault me?
