I just can't bring myself to believe
That you might possibly love me.
The way your eyes search mine
The look you put in them
Appears to be the window to your soul.
I just don't know.
Never letting anyone in
Until you
Don't know if the things you say
Are true.
The sincerity in all you say,
You've got me so confused
That you may possibly
Seriously, love me.
I question the motives behind your
Sweet words.
Questioning the extensive time that you
Hold me.
I let you in,
Yet your past haunts us both.
Your past leaks into our future.
I just can't bring myself to believe
That you may possibly love me.
Not the way I need it.
The the person you are to me.
Am I wrong?
Give me a reason to believe.
Let them all go.
Please.
Author notes
A little while ago, before I wrote this, I broke up with my boyfriend because of things that I had discovered on his page here on allpoetry. He claims he tells me the truth, but what I read...there is no denying what happened between himself and other girls, but I'm so confused. The warmth, the sincerity, and the security that I found in his arms felt so right, so geniune...what if I misinterpreted his actions? I told him that if he ever talked to me again I was going to castrate him. I wonder if I'm hiding behind other feelings that I'm not yet aware of. What do you think? Of course you don't know the full story, so I probably won't be able to rely on what you have to say about it. There it is, my doubt of you, him, me...hmmm.

Ah, doubt of one we love, and I read the comments left for you also. You poem speaks of the depths of doubt, and not knowing what is the truth. Your feelings are true, and thinking of the concept of doubt brought them out in poetic voice in your poem. May things end happily for you, thank you so much for your poem.

we all have doubts, and sometimes in our debts we must take leaps of faith. Baby. I never meant to hurt you. I am letting go of all of my past now, working only towards a future with me and you and the friends we have together. From now on when I write my poetry, I will make sure i write what, and who it is meant for,if it has a purpose. No more letting others sign my poetry with mushy things less they be your comments. I love you baby, and wish us only the best. I know you didn't want to hear from me, but I read this, and couldn't help but to respond. I love you baby, with all of my heart.
My heart remains yours forever, never closing for you, no matter what the situation. Sleep well, and dream free. The gods smile upon you as you sleep, and watch over you during the day.
Your Truly,
~Centri
