Must today be filled with words I cannot live?
Might I simply tell you the truth instead?
I have nothing to offer you, but what I am.
Weakling human trying to get by.
You are my world, yet,
I fall short even in my own eyes.
How will I ever stand up to the test of time
Called Love.
Still, I will give you all I have
Even when I come up short
And I will stand with you
In all your circumstance.
Today, I burn the list of my
Conditions for unconditional love
And place my hand
And heart in yours
To walk as best I can.

Goes back ways - nice to be able to read some of these golden oldies we wrote way back then. Fitting Title, and strong message in these lines.

Yes, it surely does speak well enough on its own.

Very Good
I can relate to your poem and I also try not to make promises I can't keep. Very Good! -

Great insight. We all have a tendency to promise the moon when we are in love and ready to take the "big leap". Only problem is, the moon isnt ours to give. I just think it would be great if we could start a bit more realistically with what we are given to work with. We all enter into relationships with expectations that are often urealistic. We aren't perfect so I try to allow my "human nature" to be a factor in the promises I make. This also affects my expectations of others. You see, if I can realize my own humaness, then it is much easier for me to acknowledge and accept the shortcomings of others while appreciating all the wonderful things about them. Thanks for all the comments, everyone.

To me this poem doesn't sound sad at all. To me it says you give yourself and a little more, but don't want to be placed on a pedestal, because you can only fall down. A really like how you see things differently. Good luck.

a bit sad, seems like you don't have a very high opinion of yourself. poetically speaking, it is a heartfelt write and does flow well.

Just noticed a typo in the first line. Will change it as soon as I figure out how to edit
-
this is totally different, it flows and it comes from the heart, good luck in the contest
