THE FEELING

IT'S LIKE BEING ON THE EDGE ALL THE TIME.
STANDING ON THE EDGE OF A CLIFF,
ALMOST FALLING,
TRYING TO KEEP YOUR BALANCE,
YOU KNOW,
THAT TINGLE INSIDE.
IT'S ALWAYS THERE,
NEVER RESTING,
ALWAYS HAUNTING,
STALKING,
AND TERRORIZING ME.
IT STIRS MY EMOTIONS INSIDE;
FURIOUS,
HUMBLE,
FRIGHTENED.
BOIL, BOIL, TOIL AND TROUBLE,
THROUGH OUT THIS WORLD I, AM TO STUMBLE.
THIS FEELING I WISH I COULD CONQUER.
RIP OPEN MY CHEST,
GRAB THIS, THIS, FEELING,
STRANGLE IT AND LOCK IT IN A BOX.
BURY IT,
NEVER TO BE RELEASED AGAIN.
FORSAKE IT FOREVER,
NEVER TO REAR IT'S UGLY HEAD AGAIN.
LEAVE ME, LET ME BE!
BUT THIS FEELING I KNOW,
I WILL NOT SHAKE,
BECAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU,
AND THAT IS NO MISTAKE.

I think I can relate to some of this. I always thought that falling in love was meant to be a wondeful thing but maby it is just as scary in a way as It can be. I like the poem by the way.
