What line is there
between trust and innocence,
and pure stupidity?

What hope is there
to find the one that's meant to be,
and continue being stepped on?

Why do I not have a problem
loving you so,
but you don't love me back?

It's hard to keep my heart
from being scarred,
and continue walking forward.

Why do I fall so hard?
Each time I look,
I find the good inside of you.

Wow!! You really started out both guns blazing with this one and didn't stop even after the body was burried!!!  Fantastic opener... "What line is there between trust and innocence, and pure stupidity?"  Fantastic all the way!!!< !signature-->

my heart has so many scars - it looks like a hockey players face - but a heart that's never open - never feels love fully -
I agree with L6S btw - ~G~

this is amazing tulip..how well do i know this situation...u know in a micheal bolton song he says something about how if ur in love then ur lover never makes mistakes....i guess the point is that our love is so deep that the flaws of our loves..just simply never overshadow the best parts of them....but then again it could be that this person may have NO good parts as well..then we should take this poem to the philosophy section LOL...loved the poem and thanx for letting me ramble

"my love is my motivation
my love is my inspiration
perception of this poem
is your interpretation"

Wilfred and Jnr4,

hmmm...seems I recall being stuck in the trust and innocence mire when all I was being was stupid...long, long time ago.
  Your poem is from the heart, tulip. A true test of strength to write it...see, you already know the answers it seems.  

Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
