It's a risk to speak my feelings,
what if he laughs?
It's a risk to deal with conflict,
what if he yells at me?
It's a risk to express my frustrations,
what if i start to cry?
It's a risk to voice my pain
what if... once i find the words ...
they go unheeded?
It's a risk to live out my love
what if love isn't returned?
It's a risk to embrace
what if the embrace isn't welcome,
or even worse returned lukewarm
It's a risk to show my vulnerability
what if i appear weak?
It's a risk to cry out
what if nobody responds?

I wrote this awhile ago, but it fits here quite nicely. although, I know here, people will respond when I cry out, because it's likely that they're crying out too!!






Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

Lilone.
It's a risk to open ourselves to others with the chance of getting hurt, but then again it's a risk to live. Sensitive poem
Be well

"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

I really like it. There are so many what if's in this life and love is one of those things that can be even more unpredictable...you captured that. It's  really great.

Lil, first of all thanks for your comments, it means a lot to me that you liked my poems, coz I sure like your work!
This one reminded me of Celine Dion & Barbara Streisand's song...

Tell him

I'm scared
So afraid to show I care
Will he think me weak?
If I tremble when I speak
What If
There's another one he's thinking of?
Maybe he's in love
I'd feel like a fool
Life can be so cruel
I don't know what to do...

(and so and so...   )

Peace now!
