PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I realize life is neither perfect nor stable,

But must mine be like this?

A pendulum swinging between heaven and hell,

Somewhere is this deep abyss,

I know not where it comes from,

Or even to where it goes,

But this fear sinks even deeper,

Than any earth-bound man canknow,

I did not predict this moment,

When all my fears would be layed at my feet,

But out of you, I see shining a radiance,

The likes if which I dare not compete,

I find my every thought wandering,

To the glory of your simple existance,

But I know without the self confidence I lack,

I have not even the whisper of a chance,

I do not quite believe I am worthy of you,

Or this undying love you confess,

But I feel the uneasiness wear on my body,

Like the fit of a faded dress,

My unsureness draws me inside myself,

To the very core of my life,

Where every harsh word that echoes around me,

Leaves the stinging wound of a knife,

A knife which you hold, beyond your knowledge,

Perhaps even beyond your control,

I attempt to remain a semblance of dignity,

All the while knowing I'm dice you can roll,

I feel I'm but a thread in the pattern of you,

One blow and I could easily fall,

I'm swinging wildly out of control,

At the direct course of a brick wall,

You've promised me love and I'm eager to accept,

But one question is still in my mind:

A thought that pursues me endlessly,

Should happiness be this easy to find?
