i step to the edge
once more
with anticipation
and overwhelming fear
that i will fall
again
my heart screams
but my lips hold tightly
to every word
if i speak of
what i fear
what i want
will it be wasted
on deaf ears
if i show you
what is me
would you still desire
a look
if i give myself
all that i am
all i will be
will i get you
all that you are
all that you will be
if i close my eyes
raise my arms
fall back
can i trust you
to be there
to lift me up
and carry me to heights
i've never been

Good job, and I hope that person is there to pick you up when you do fall back.



 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great poem.  I hope you can trust that person... we all need someone to catch us if we fall.

Think you used good expression with this verse.  Could feel the hesitation to make that fall, not knowing if it would be a soft or hard landing.
Nice writing.

"If I show you what is me would you still desire a look".  I used to feel like that and I think it was a fear I had of being rejected...I probably still have some of those feelings but I accept the truth that everyone will be rejected sometimes and the journey is to find someone who will accept us as we are.     James

I hope you find it Danni, you deserve it.  We all want our signifigant other to be there and understand the good and bad in us.
Well written

                     if i close my eyes
                     raise my arms
                     fall back
                     can i trust you
                     to be there
                     to lift me up
                     and carry me to heights
                     i've never been

That is very powerful... trust is a precious thing.  I really liked this poem.

WEll written , I find the  hardest thing for me to do is  trust and you have  done a  great job  describing the emotions and questions the desire to trust brings

 Mystical being
which makes ink flow
Surround me in
your incandescent glow
Fill my brain with
thoughts and rhyme
As I try to capture
but a moment in time

Love this, and you.

avanti-thank you. i'm glad you didn't miss it too.  
danny-thank you also. i guess after you hit hard so many times, you become more and more hesitant.
jmlee- you are right. it is about finding the one that will accept you as you are. but rejection still always hurts. especially after being strung along. thank you for the comments.
isis- many thanks to you also. ya know, i won't be modest, i really do deserve it. and i really hope that i have found it this time.
zumble- trust is absolutely a most precious thing. without it, a relationship and love cannot survive. thank you.
irish- thank you very much. and yes, as much as i might try to fight it, for fear, the hope does overcome, in time.
starr-this is the exact product of being betrayed time and time again. by just about everyone i have ever known. and to my surprise, i am still willing to trust again. i am just a little more careful, and question alot more. thanks for the comments.
joel- when it comes down to it, that is all that one can do. a take it or leave it kind of deal. it would be nice though, if the one you gave to, would decide a lot quicker. before you get attached, you know? my thanks goes to you too.
