I ran across this poem while surfing the web (can’t go to sleep), and I almost broke down crying. I kept reading it and reading it because this is EXACTLY the way I have felt about my relationship. I have tried to express this very thing to him before and I am never sure that he really heard me. But, Jaz, whoever you are…this is wonderful. Thanks for writing this.
Afraid to Love Again
by Jaz
My heart had once been broken in two
I look back and I think-
how could I have thought his love was true?
How could I have allowed myself to be used,
allowed him to make me feel so much pain,
become afraid to love again…?
But then you came into my life.
I couldn’t help falling in love.
I never loved anyone this way before .
this love that we share means so much more
But, yet I’m still hesitant to let you into my heart,
afraid you’ll just take it all apart.
Tears rolling down my eyes,
hoping, praying that what you’re telling me aren’t lies,
hoping I can read between the lines.
I’m contemplating whether your love is real
‘cuz it’s hard to tell the way someone really feels.
I’m afraid to let you in my life, afraid to love again.
yet, i still let you in…
