Risk For Love

by Essenceofpoetry   May 13, 2006


I found my heart completely open, Ready to tell him I loved him.
Fates ran thin and my heart was hoping,
That when the time came he would let me in.

The highway stretched with no end near,
My breath was short and shallow.
Just Prayed that he would only hear,
While dreading that painful doubt, a shadow.

I waited by his window, afraid but alive,
I wondered how he looked in his sleep.
I could almost feel his breath while he\'s inside.

Courage met me as my fingers hit the glass,
I prayed that he would wake.
I almost gave up hope at last,
But something inside told me, \"Wait\"

Once more i tapped on his window,
The lights went on inside.
I saw my love standing up there, I yelled,
I wondered how he felt inside.

He met me on the front step, He waited for me to tell him why.
I was ready and my heart was lit,
I told him what I felt inside.

My smile faded into the night,
A cold silence was all i heard.
All the hope i had inside,
It slowly, very slowly, dispersed.

I took one more look at his face,
No emotion could be found.
I found a lonley pattern in my pace,
As my heart slowly drowned.

Darkness is all i could see now,
The weeds grabbed at my tired legs.
No matter how many times i fell,
My spirit died in the haze.

No time for crying here,
I had so far to go, the end was drawing near.
But my tears just seemed to flow,
At last, at last, at last i was home.

A sad song was stuck in my head,
All that precious time i gave him.
And all my heart is, is dead,
My pain was nothing to him.

Just something to shove,
It all just seemed to fall apart.
So what is the point in taking risks for love,
If all i\'m going ot get is a broken heart?
