I Fear To Love
62
I fear to love
For love is a jigsaw
Uncertain how to create a picture
There are laws
And there is freedom
The one you love
Will let you be happy
The one you love
Will bring you ecstasy
And yet when all is done,
They will cause the suffering
To have begun
I have caused pain
I have killed the hearts of men
And I question
Should I have allowed myself to love
If my love brings only hate
Do not commiserate
For I intended no sorrow
I saw only today
I did not consider tomorrow
How can you live a life
Knowing you are resented
Should I have repented
Those words I said
That stuck in their head
Caused my name to taste sour
On the tip of their tongue
When the battle is lost
But the war is won
For they have hurt me more then I them
In hating me for not loving
What I cannot love
The act I fear they see selfish
And yet their ignorance
Brings them bliss
For I of course I do miss
The friend I had and now have lost
Do the benefits really out way the cost?
I must ask, is it better to lose at love
Then never to love at all

hmm. One day someones going to come into your life and (unknowingly) show you, through their patience, love and understanding, how to love...
A very honest poem. Real. :)
Cammie, this is truly a beautiful, and even thought provoking poem.
It sounds like something we all experienced one time or another. LOL.
I shared it on my Face-Book page.
Thank you for sharing.
Take Care,

Love will come, whether you want it or not. It will knock on your door and rush in, whether you invite it or not. Pain and sorrow is casual, it is the price that we should pay in our search to the right one. Don't be afraid, just be honest. There's nothing worth if lie become part of the way you love.
Lovely poem. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks.^^
