PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I knew it would be hard when this journey began

I continued to walk, even though I should have ran

but he stood by my side, through thick and thin

No matter the challenge, he wouldn't give in



And now I'm supposed to be strong and take the lead

Have the faith in our love and the spirit to believe

But I'm weak and feeble, not worth the wait

If I continue to linger, it may be too late



But making that jump scares me so deep inside

afraid for my sanity, I'll cower and hide

I can't leap headfirst into a life of hardship and doubt

I know there will be times where I'd want to get out



But I'd have made that step to a new and foreign land

He'd be gone for a month or two, not there to hold my hand

and I'd be expected to have will and stand strong

I know that won't happen when he is gone



I'm too weak and feeble to live out there on my own

Still relying on my family, I'm not yet fully grown

I can't take that step to maturity, not without looking back

And a life of insecurity is the thing I'm glad I lack



Though I crave his gentle touch, and wish to be his wife

I can't take that chance and risk this steady, mundane life

Alone out there, a whole new world to explore?

Instead I'll be hiding in the house, closing all those doors



He believes I can do it that I can make the change

but I know that I can't and that's where feelings rearrange

And we both start to worry and ponder times ahead

He says we'll stay together, but I have this voice within my head...



...telling me to be wary, I'll be screwed again

I don't want to put my faith in dreams, they always cave right in

So instead I'll sit here shaking, racking through my mind

Grasping onto that thread of hope, that hope that's hard to find



We'll talk it through, I know this is the only way

Unless I make that move, our feelings won't stay

We'll continue to argue, it would always be so,

which is sometimes why I wonder - if you love them, let them go.
