              Pain Inside My Eyes

  Hid inside all my feelings stayed,
  If I let them out my reputation would be
betrayed.
  But tonight I shall get across what I want to say,
  And nothing nor no one shall stand in my way.
  I am falling in love with you as terrifying inside
  as it may be,
  I have to set my dreadful fears free.
  Playing people was my immunity from pain,
  It was what I thought was the only way even
  thought known to be vein.
  I can't take the pain I've had away,
  For the pain not to happen again I can only pray.
  I will say that I love you and only hope to be
  with you till death do us part,
  And I mean that with every piece of my heart.
  So if you dont feel the same please let me know,
  Because the longer we're together the harder it
  will be to let you go.
  I guess the reason this is happening is I am so
  terrified of not having your love,
  I wish that life to us was as peaceful as a dove.
  I just don't want to deal with anymore hurt, any
  more pain,
  Because I will completely go insane.
  I guess I am saying that I'm starting to love you,
  Hoping that theres the smallest chance that you
  love me too.....

Wow Mario, this is so well written!  And to think that you wondered if your poems were any good!  Well believe me you express yourself, your fears and your pain so well  
Unfortunately, I relate all too well to this piece, it's like you wrote this about how I feel.  I, too, am apprehensive about loving another, because of all the pain that I have gone through in my life and I also fear rejection or abandonment.  Once again, this really is excellent!  I definately look forward to more poems by you, welcome to passions!  

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

There is a sense of not being deserving of love here and this makes the final plea all the more poignant.  The reference to playing people to avoid pain is really interesting.  I know someone who does this and your poem gives me insight into the reasons behind it.

Wow Mario,

I am impressed with this one. And actually having just been played by someone recently, it is actually allowing me to feel some pity for him. Someday he will feel as you expressed, I am quite sure.

I hope things work out for you if this is your current life situation. Living with love in your heart unreturned is the worst!

Keep up the great work! TH
