Love Poem: All Or Nothing

All Or Nothing

Why must it be 
all or nothing
                why the two extremes 
why not
a happy medium
like maybe, 
or something in between;
try it for now
if it doesn’t work 
we’ll try something else 
why all or nothing 
why so terse;
walking this fine line
         not knowing
 that at any time
you could walk out
leaves me in such doubt 
to wither and die inside;
so let’s make a pack 
try a happy medium 
where our love may stay 
on track
