I leave myself open
Hoping love will come in
A whisper, a touch is all
I need for my love to begin

My feelings grow deeper
Led blindly by the thought alone
That one day I will love someone
Someone to call my own

But in this crazy circumstance
My eyes have failed to see
The lonliness I have caused myself
To think that anyone would love me

Welcome!!  

A slice of pain is always easier when you release it.  This is a subject I know well and your work captured it well.  


 Whatever strength I add to myself becomes my greatest weakness, while whatever weakness I'll consciously endure will be replaced with a strength that is not my own.

hi gin, and welcome...i love this poem...it is sadly beautiful...

I leave myself open
Hoping love will come in
A whisper, a touch is all
I need for my love to begin
----------
you express you pain with grace,
take care,jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

gingin--liked this much!  Reminded me of an old Groucho Marx line--ouch, serenity betrays her age--"I wouldn't join any club that would have me as a member..."

I understand, and believe me, there is Hope.
(couldn't resist, says the imp!)

Don't look my friend for love searches not those who seek ,but rather,  those who wait.
your poem was sad but I liked it and look forward to reading more of your work.

I know exactly how you feel.  The poem speaks out to me in ways I could never express.  Very well written\.
