Afraid to Commit... |

I know that I crave attention... You give, I receive. But I always take it too far... Are you THE one? This time could be different. I could love you this time. Usually, I'm wrong, once again, wrong. I tried too hard, and it won't be right. You will wonder why I'm afraid to commit. Can't you see? I've seen the heartbroken, I know what pain is like. The emptiness of what you want but can't have. It saddens me to think, THE one will never find me. Even scarier that when he does, I may not let him in. The insane pain of love lost is not what I wish to feel, maybe that's why I'm afraid to commit. |

Jenn, It's okay to be cautious but being too cautious will more than likely backfire. You're so afraid of stepping on any cracks that your balance is shot and you fumble every which way. I used to be like you and I too lived through the pain of loss and rejection but the prize is well worth the risks taken. That prize being true love. Take things slow and be open with him...if he is THE one..he'll understand. Well, this was a great poem and I wish you the best of luck. Love, Angel< !signature--> Don't mess with the bull, young man. You'll get the horns. ~*Guardian of Light*~ [This message has been edited by Dark Enchantress (edited 08-22-2000).] |

I think Angel put it very well. This is a great poem, it expresses your fear very well. |

Nicely penned Jenn! Only "you" can know when it is truly right ... and sometimes intuition kicks in to guide you in the right direction. Trust your feelings and know that if there's something you feel holding you back ... you may be wise to listen.  Best wishes, /Kit |

You're not afraid to commit now.  Good piece, jenn. ~AF~ "Always keep focus on your dreams because most often than not that's all you'll have." - Javier |

I still have reservations on the commitment thing. And man...the "insane pain of love lost" hurts like no other.  However, I don't regret diving head-first into love. One day there will be a guy who not only loves me, but respects me and my feelings as well, so...commitment isn't so bad... a big woohooo for monagamy. Thanks for bringing up all of my old stuff Lizzy...lol how cute of you. "I want love on my own terms; after everything I've ever learned. Me, I carry too much baggage..." |
