Love Or Lack Of It







I Don't Know Why







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!

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