i know you
have been hurt before
but baby I'm here now
don't hold what others
did to you against me.
i wasn't the one who
broke your heart
into a million pieces.
i wasn't the one
who made you believe in me
and threw it all away
in a heartbeat.
trust me, i have been there.
i know how hard it is
to open up again
after all the heartache and pain.
i have been hurt before too.
if i am willing to open
my heart for you?
do you think you could
do the same for me?
if you think you cant.
then you haven't
looked close enough
to see the real me.
look in my eyes
what do you see?
is there honesty and love?
or lust and lies?
i know what is in them
for i know what
i would never do
that is i could never hurt you.
for in hurting you
i would hurt myself
you are the best thing
that's happened to me.
if you can't see that
then I'm wasting my time
if you cant find it in your heart
to open up and be together
than i guess you wont have to
for if you cant do that
then its a one-sided relationship.
who knows maybe our
two broken pieces
can be made whole.
maybe our hearts
are two pieces
that match
if you dare to
put yours beside
mine.

Author notes
i have been hurt so many times i don't even see the point of opening up to anyone anymore either...but sometimes a guy comes around that truly cares but you just have to close your eyes and jump...and just hope that he will be there to catch you...although i will admit you will fall everyone does eventually...

"maybe our hearts

Oh that was so beautifully written, I think that everyone needs this sort of poem, this sort of PERSON when they are down and out, tired of being hurt & rejected - and there are so many lost soulds like that in the world...
Thanks for entering -
I like this. Too many girls, myself included, blame the entire male race for one idiot. And it's nice to step into someone else's shoes, isn't it? Even if it's fictitious, and there might not be someone out there like that...
I'd only suggest taking advantage of proper capitalization, and maybe incorporating the use of commas or something to really establish a meter and rhythm for the reader to follow.
Inspiring note, love ;]
Thanks again for entering, and good luck!
