I was so willing to jump of the cliff before being so sure that I would be caught. I was caught just to be dropped which hurt more. I am very leary of getting near that edge again. I don't know if I am ready to let go. To be completely honest I am petrified to fall again. I am unsure of how many times I can fall without being broken beyond repair. I know I am resiliant and have bounced back before but this time I am just not sure. I don't want to fall again unless I am caught and held. I don't want to worry about having my life turned upside down. I am on my path doing what I am suppose to do and don't want to be diverted to the cliff. Am I ready?

iknow that i am young and all but one thing that i do know is that there will be alot of heart breaks in a persons life but you always have to try again you will find the perfect person for you.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I feel honored that your first post was on my poem!

This too shall pass Tanya...and the best is yet to be

Trust yourself

Thank you sweet sweet miskim!

Thanks!

why do we fall?????


So we can learn to pick ourselves up....




its not who will catch you, but rather who is going to fall with you!!

Good Point!

The loves that do not last are just mere stepping stones to the one that will.

I'm just asking. Does anyone ever set up a criteria for the mistakes in the past and what the future will hold? Simply put I have seen the mistakes of the past in relationships so why repeat them over and over and over again thinking something will change this time? Really I'm just asking, not trying to be a smartass even though I'm coming off as one. Sorry bout that, but really answer the question.

Not a problem, thanks for commenting. To me your question seems rhetorical in this context due to the fact that this is poem, not necessary a true rendition of what occurs in my relationships. My poetry is very much emotional driven. Just ask of the regulars in the thread, there are times where I write something and I have to reassure non-regular poetry thread readers that I'm ok or that there is nothing to worry about or its just a poem. Again since this is a poetry thread and I am not seeking advice I will leave your question as is.

I say risk the fall...

No matter what happens, one way or another, those who Love you will catch you and hold you

I know I will....

oh my dear dear sweetheart, I know that with you I have a listening ear and a helping hand! Thank you!
