PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Most days, I can't bring myself to lift this pen,

To admit these feelings,

These thoughts that race through the maze that is my mind,

To be honest with myself.

I pulled all of the petals off the rose,

Suffice it to say

He loves me not.

Forever the optimist I will be,

And forever that will be my downfall,

If that has not already come to pass.

As I lie awake,

Unsure of all of the moments we shared,

Hopelessly I fall over and over.

Sometimes I fall through the gap,

Sometimes someone catches me,

But never has anyone broken my fall.
