I say I love you
And it's true
I do.
I'm just so scared
To let myself fall so far
I won't be able
To pick myself back up again

I've been fiercely independent
For so long
Constantly reminding myself
That I needed no one
And then you walked through the door
And everything I'd ever told myself
Was a lie

Trembling, I hold out my heart to you
It's wrapped, with a bow,
And underneath the wrapping are signs;warnings,
Which say 'Caution: Fragile"
Heed them!
For once broken
I may never be put back together again

I know the feeling. But all too often people don't listen to the warnings and then you end up disconnecting yourself from the world because you forget how to trust. I enjoy reading your poetry. Keep writing and keep your head up.

Wow I can totally relate and that doesn't happen often. I like how you conveyed it so simply but so powerfully!

Hi Pen&Paper,

I really enjoyed this poem. I haven't seen any of yours lately and this was very pleasent to read. I was feeling a little mixed about your line breaks but the more I read this the more I like it. I think you did an excellent job. I am looking forward to reading some more from you.

Definately true! It's no wonder so many can relate when it occurs so many times in life.

Oh hun... I know that feeling all too well.. Sometimes that feeling of independence ruined my relationships. I don't know your situation but I thought I didn't need anyone and I was too cautious on who I dated. I understand where your coming from. My only advice is to be open with yourself but be careful.

Great write like usual.
