Facing the Unknown

Will I find love again out there? I know it won't be easy to do. I don't know if I have anything left to share, And not even sure that I would be able to. I have been carrying this baggage for so long, that I don't know if I can leave it behind. It is now part of me, right or wrong, I think it will always prey on my mind. My wounds and scars are painfully deep. They would be difficult to hide. And my memories, what do I keep? Or do I just toss it all aside? I will have to learn to trust once more. It would not be fair to judge all the same. But I don't think I could ever be sure, and I wouldn't want someone else to take the blame. How could it ever feel right to form a bond with someone new? When I am afraid that I might, never again know what is really true? I feel that it may be too late, that I wouldn't have enough time. To learn all over again how to relate, So I would be able to ease my mind. I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone. But I don't want to make a mistake. Wondering if I can face the unknown, A decision, that only I can make.

It is always hard to let go of the past and move on. Sometimes you just have to cast caution to the wind and go for it, and yes, you can find love again. Best wishes my friend. John

Thank you, Heidi. Sometimes a complicated issue has so many aspects that it is more difficult to express and it to be understood.

Thank you, LM. Glad that you enjoyed reading this one. I like to end my poem with a dramatic last line, although it sometimes falls short.
