This decedion i have impares me to breathe
My heart pulls in one direction, as my mind says just leave

Two breaths quickly find love
Just as fast as they lost it

I grasp onto goodbye
So hard I have lost him
I couldnt let go of this moment

Two lives continued to live
Two hearts continued to love

Or atleast I thought
Its hard for me to forget
Its so funy how things work out

My mind wanders as it dreams
my heart dreams as it seeks

I feel like everytime I try
I just isnt worth it
I seem to make a mess

I seem to loose all thats important
All thats ever mattered

Im afraid to love this new direction
Im afraid because I know I will lose it
Ill lose all that matters

I know that there is something real
But i said that last time
And the time before that

So what makes me think that this is real

Voices of doubt fill my heart
But something tells me just the oposite

thoughts finaly starting to make sense
finaly starting to look clear

This first love comes again to my life
Couldnt you just stay where you were?

So confused so much pain
So misunderstood
So lost

Can I keep love?
Can I rid of the lost?

Im pulled in one direction
As my spirit stays sound
My heart on my sleve
Its open to break

So Im afraid to forget
As Im afraid to proceed

Skip that part about loosing and keep that part about love

Your closing comment seems more like an after though, like "no, scratch that", which is ironic because it fits in so wonderfully.   You've described the feeling of not wanting something because you know you're going to lose it or mess it up eventually, or atleast that's what I got from this.  Good job.

I tried to read this, but didn't make it through because of all the spelling and grammar errors. I'm not criticizing your poem or anything, I just suggest that you edit it a bit so it's easier to read.
