Receiving Love

In and out
Through my internal door
Without the energy to decide
Is it this way or is it that, how do I feel?
I should be the one to know this, but
I cannot rightly choose
Lost in mind
To possibility
Of you and me, something in between
How can I think when I can’t begin to believe
That someone as wonderful as you
Could with any small chance
Love a me
One who doesn’t love herself
Or know of love that doesn’t have a string
Who has to trust the opinion of another
To feel a little sliver of worth
From your loving of me
To receive
