Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly Poet Rhyme

If It Was Safe To Love You

If It Was Safe To Love You, I would with all my heart,
With body, mind, and soul; with each and every part.
If It Was Safe To Love You, I'd tear down my wall,
If I thought for a moment I could allow myself to fall
In Love with you knowing too, you feel the same way
And I wouldn't be to you just another game to play.

If It Was Safe To Love You, on your side I would be,
Where together, life's woes we could face, you and me.
If It Was Safe To Love You, you'd have my understanding,
Rather than my criticism, my doubt in you's demanding.
My support you'd have, for in you I could then believe,
Knowing you wouldn't be seeking only ways to deceive.

If It Was Safe To Love You, your happiness would be
And too, would be your dreams, all paramount to me.
If It Was Safe To Love You, I'd always have your back;
I'd feel not like your enemy you could any time attack
And on the same side, the world, together we'd be facing,
Not opposing courses, separately in pursuance of and chasing.

If It Was Safe To Love You, obstacles we'd together, meet,
And together we would become a force impossible to beat.
If It Was Safe To Love You, you wouldn't ever be alone,
And all your inner feelings would be as guarded as my own.
All your deepest secrets would then be mine to keep,
My loyalty and devotion would forbid my lips to peep.

If It Was Safe To Love You, I would with all my heart,
With body, mind, and soul; with each and every part.
But it's not safe to Love you, to let my guard down,
To allow myself to trust you and award you the crown.
Since two different pictures, you always paint to show,
Which is real and which is fake, I can't ever know.

Charmaine Chircop September 12, 2023 at 1:45 PM Heartwrenching and sad.How strange love is,many a time seeking and wandering in the wrong place,or maybe right,or wrong,whoever knows?If it was safe to love you..says it all

Faraz Ajmal April 21, 2018 at 10:07 AM If it was safe to love you, a really beautiful and heartbreaking poem, often in life we fall in love with the wrong person and when the right person come, we are so in grief of losing the wrong that we don t even realize that the person infront of us is really the one we are looking for, my opinion is also like Caren, you deserve a person whom it will be safe to love, jist keep your eyes open that you might know when such a person come, good luck Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 21, 2018 at 10:50 AM Thank you, Faraz. So true your words are. We get hung up on the wrong person, making us unavailable for the right person. All the best to you. :) ~ Artsie

Caren Krutsinger April 13, 2018 at 3:31 AM all you need is that ONE person whom it is SAFE to love. I hope you find them and show them this beautiful poem. Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 15, 2018 at 1:37 AM Thank you, Caren. So true. I'm no longer looking but I know people who are.:) ~ Artsie
