He says he loves me
but I have no understanding why.
I hope he does for I remain
that simple being, "I".
I shouldn't be so anxious when
his love I may possess.
Yet, I've been promised "more" before,
and all I got was "less".
Those habits hard to break are ones
which milk emotions dry.
I don't want to be left alone
to lick my wounds and cry.
How does a person so abused
by all that's come before,
Throw down her guard, lift up her head,
and open wide love's door?

Jessica. I can relate to this poem completely. But, I have never given up! I think that someday, some place, maybe it will happen!
You are a great writer, Jessica! Never let anyone ever tell you any differently!

Ohhhhhhhhhh... love that picture!
Very nice poem....I know how hard it can be
to let that guard down again.
