"Do you trust me?"
And I felt my heart break because I couldn't
Couldn't reach out to grab your hand
Couldn't desimate my past
Couldn't forget that you might be like them.
All of them.
So instead of waiting for me,
You took my hand and held me.
"I'm scared," I whispered
And you kissed my forehead gently,
Bequething promises unspoken
As your rich earth-filled eyes met mine
And I dropped all my defenses.
"I love you Ken,"
And my emotions tumbled out,
"I'm glad you said it because I don't think I could hold it in any longer."
And I trusted him.

This is so sad and depressing. Though the poem was not long at all it showed a lot of emotion, i realy liked reading your poem. Great job i hope you win the contest. Also the line 'Couldn't forget that you might be like them.' that was my favorite line. I think that sometimes too. Great job keep up all your good work.
