PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It's so hard to hope and hold onto sanity,

When it seems (what I know as) my world is slipping away,

Before my eyes, my house of cards falls,

And I try to rebuild it in vain,

I've never let someone get this close to me,

But now, as close as we are just isn't enough,

I desperately yearn to feel you near,

To know the softness of your touch,

But once more I try to shut you out,

I've never had happiness in more than a dream,

I'm afraid to step into reality,

Fearing it won't be as perfect as it seems,

Yet you're slowing bringing me out of my shell,

Teaching me to trust once more,

Perhaps this is how life's supposed to be,

Not in seclusion, as I was before,

So maybe my walls are crashing down,

All I know is you're all that I need,

I'll try, for you, to give it my all,

And forever from this prison be freed.
