If I fall will you catch me?
If I grieve will you console me?
If I smile will you smile with me?
If I love you will you love me?

Everything I know
Is nothing without a world to live in
Everything I feel
Is nothing without someone to touch me
Everything I see
Is nothing but a silhouette of a dream

Hope to love
Is not on my path
Hope to hate
Is somewhere on the way
Hope to be lonely
Was always a reality

Knowing the truth
Is a lie to myself
Knowing how to live
Is death to my soul
Knowing her
Is all I have

Everything I know
Is nothing without a world to live in
Everything I feel
Is nothing without someone to touch me
Everything I see
Is nothing but a silhouette of a dream

Liked the structure throughtout this poem.  I LOVE free verse with some structure.  Shows creativity and intelligence.  Very sad and poignant verse:
Hope to love
Is not on my path
Hope to hate
Is somewhere on the way
Hope to be lonely
Was always a reality

Hope is such a delicate thing.

Yes, I like the structure here too, and how you made it free and not held down...let it flow...  
I feel the same way, without someone there to share in my happines, fear, love, then I am alone.
