You are my strength
And the reason I take my first breath in the morning
If it wasn't for you
I would be dead long, long ago
Everything will be alright now
Because you're in my life
I can't describe these feelings in my heart
They struggle to come to the surface
Because I'm scared
Scared of loosing you to someone else
Scared you'll see me as someone else
Scared you'll listen to someone else
But what I know is that my love is real
This love I feel in my soul
It burns like nothing ever did before
It comes from you
Every time we speak, I burn
Warmth flowing all through me
And it comes from you
I love you like I never did before
And I just want you to know...
You are my strength
And the reason I take my first breath...

Very Beautiful
I love it, and you can feel the emotion you went through when you wrote it. It is easy, to realize that you are in love and I can tell how much this person means. I look forward to reading more poems by you in the future. -
Excellent
Excellent Poem. I liked the fact that You Express that Your weakness is that you need another source of strength. For People to admit that is great, especially in love. -

Nicely done!
The love you feel and the strength you draw from the subject of 'My Strength' is evident. It is heartfelt, but not saccharine, as many poems of this sort tend to be, which gives your words a lot of power. As the previous reviewer wrote, this person is very lucky, indeed, to have you.
~smile~
Brava and well done!

Awww... see I don't think you could have done any better in a sonnet... I think just letting it pour out like it did in this... always shows the most. THis is beautiful. I think he would love it if you showed it to him....
Awesome write hun.
