I Promised

I never thought I’d trust again
After all that I’d been through
But all my promises have been broken
Since I have met you

I told myself not to fall in love
To protect myself from pain
But you swept me away so fast
Like a petal in a hurricane

I feel like I’m floating
High up in the sky
But every second I’m terrified
In case you say goodbye

Every word you say to me
Is like an angel speaking
But can you give my heart
What it’s desperately seeking?

I want you to hold me
Make me feel protected
I want to feel cherished
Loved and respected

But every second I think of you
My heart beats a little faster
This adrenaline rush is killing me
I think I’m heading for disaster

    I love this poem and it seems full of emotion. I understand where you are coming from, telling yourself that you won't love anyone as you don't want to be hurt again, but if you did live like this, you wouldn't be living to the full, however much it hurts and however much you don't want to be hurt again, its always going to happen, as love is strong.
    I really liked the line:
    'Like a petal in a hurricane'
    i thought that was lovely imagery. well done on the poem and i liked how it flowed because of the ryhme. xxx-xxx
