As I read some new poems the other day,
  one caught me by surprise.

It was where someone wrote my life,
  had they looked through my eyes.

I wondered if this author,
  was someone that I knew.

Because every single line,
  was so scary but true.

It talked about love,
  and the pain I feel.

They had to have known me,
  it was just too real.

I sat and read it,
  over and again.

I think I will stop,
  and create a new end.

I stopped running away,
  and will stand fast in my tracks.

I want the feel of real love,
  not merely a grasp.

No longer will I leave little pieces,
  for ones who don't care.

I will save it all my love,
  for that one that is rare.

Thank you DS.  I have dished out little pieces of my soul for far too long.  Long enough that someone wrote a poem about it and it was scary that it fit my life to a T. Made me stop and think....

"want the feel of real love,
  not merely a grasp."
