I hesitate to fall in love
I hesitate to take a chance

I chance this next step I take
I chance yet another heart break

A shadow casts over my soul
A darkness comes that I cant controll

Doubts fill my mind
Pain haunts my heart
Tempted to love, tempted to start

Should I take this chance and fall in love
Or should I expect another disapointment

I hesitate to feel something real
I hesitate to even feel

I chance this journey to what they call love
I chance a broken promise

I am ready to be with someone
But am not willing to feel pain
Is this something different
Or is it just all the same

My heart turns to yours
My heart is in your hands

Im not sure what will happen
Im not sure of the plan

Although I cant see the future
I can predict how I'll feel

There are no gaurentees
Theres nothing that I'm sure of
All exept for one thing, Im ready to feel love

This chance that I take
This chance that I make
Is all in the name of being in love

So my journey begins
So will it soon end?

My strength repairs itself
And gets ready for love

Excellent poem! I've felt like this one time before myslef, right after my first love. Isn't amazing how writing can help? Although it may not fix all the wounds...telling youself that you're strong can always help! Again...great job!

Maybe redemption has stories to tell maybe forgiveness is right where you fell.

GREAT POEM! I think everyone can relate in one aspect or another. I felt this one the whole way through. Good job! ~Jess

The concept of this was good, a bit cliche, and I was feeling it at the beginning.  However, once you started to switch around the form and rhyme so much, it got confusing and the rhythm was lost.  Although I can definately relate to this idea and generally you did a good job portraying the emotions, try to work on creating a more powerful rhythm that doesn't take away from the effect of the piece.  Good job though and I must say that I absolutely understand where you're coming from
