... Yet I can't bring myself to go
as hard as it is, I think I'll stay
even if it hurts someone I know
I don't think I'd survive going away

You saw right through my second skin
right through to the core of me
awakening the heart burried deep within
and only now do I begin to see

That a life lived devoid of emotion
is not a life even worth living
It hits me like a long forgotten notion
and I think it's one worth giving

And so I give it freely to you
If only you'll accept the gift
of these feelings free and true
as i try to hear the rift

I know you know my feelings
just as you see my reasons too
With the past I was still dealing
too torn to even consider you

Yet I've thought long
and I've thought hard
And I know I was wrong
to put up my guard

I don't know if I love you
I'm still too sore for that
yet these feelings are true
and so I ask you to meet me where I'm at

I know it's not your style
to simply play it straight
but if you could for a while,
well, that'd be great.

Because I'd like to give it a try
to see if I can be that guy
who can help you find a way out
To free you from sorrow and doubt

I know it sounds idealistic
but I only ask that you try
and if it's just not realisitic
I know I won't wail and cry

But if I don't ask you this now
then I'll never ever know
What would have happened and how
had I never let you go

I sincerely wish love poems weren't salt in the wounds to me, but this is a good one none the less. Good job dude.

Another one I love from you. You're just spewing 'em out now aren't you? lol, that's good. I really especially loved the last two stanzas!
I would say your writing is improving, but there was no room for improvement in the first place.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold
