I still Don't know what Love is

I still Don't know what Love is

A Poem by Earthy Mumma Soul

Expectations
 they gloss me in a coat of confusion
i'm confused
how can you be "this" when you have never been "that"
it's like playing a game of 
chasing the invisible cat 
plus a game of chess or two with out the pieces 
never really know where to walk the line 
when all that lies inside me 
is a distraught and fearful, hungry wide eyed child
the adult coat that I wear is thin and see through 
I can never hold it down for long 
the raging beast seeping through 
the lonely girl, we see she's been abused 
this love's got me so confused
never know which way to walk 
heart still pumping 
legs still walking 
ego still controlling
thoughts and memories playing their stories 
just want to know 
when it's time to let my guard down 
let love stroke my hair 
hold me close 
keep me safe 
let me be me 
let you be you 
but I am shattered glass
fragments making a patterned sky 
in the purple bee hives of the night 
the honey still lingers 
as does the war 
 still
 don't
 know 
what
 love 
is

Intense. Very intense. I loved the invisible cat line, too. The rhyme scheme was great.
