"Predictably..."

I received this poem from Dona Lou just this morning. How many of the questions have you ever asked?  - poetheart 12/03/01

Predictably
Alone again
I knew it would be thus
The moment that I dared
To hope for us
I was already scared
Of what I knew would be
Inevitably
Did I undermine
With fearful words
Or hateful deeds?
Were my needs
Too much?
Or did my tender touch
Render you numb?
Why does love come
Too easily
And go
So
Predictably?
