Over my shoulder

I don't like this talk of love.
It haunts as a shawl is for it's nightlife.

I don't always agree with light outside 

In the day time however much

The air clears my lungs of the dust

There that's built up.

 

Otherwise for a great part

I'm up and about 

Though something is looking over my

   shoulder.

My mind doesn't always clear 

Of the fear one day I might fall in love.

It unwinds backwards as the web

 

Of a spider. I'm clearly not ready enough,

Or am unable.

Sorry I study this heart.

This is some seriously beautiful reflection, being in love can also be damn cruel, love to bits your first stanza, love your honesty love the imagery even though it's dark it's completely sincere and is felt. Powerful poem my friend. 🌹
