Do you show that you do care?
Are you really loving me from there?
Looking down as I am below
How long from now until I know love?
The kind that is real the kind that is true
Not just seen in movies or heard in musical tunes
An endeavor and journey of the spirits intertwined
That magical feeling of a soulmate for life
Once was written cherished now hard to find
An honest man for an honest woman to make a wife
Young yet old in feeling alone
Stuck in a place difficult to outgrow
The insecure feelings of taking a leap to trust
A blind faith of pain endured enough
Trials and errors many mistakes
Striving for the opposite of what all the others ever gave
Left though hollow incapable of the risks
To be taken advantage of again 
Bent broken hit and missed
Scarred within not without
Still praying for hope in thought and vocalizing out of my mouth
Struggling to dream my most true desire
To form a passionate love of flames that sends us ever higher
Into the cloud shaped heavens with oceanic mirrors 
Lifted endlessly into the abyss an eternal gift
Showing no fear shedding never another tear
A clearing toward the gateway of a key to heart
Destiny guiding the light of no error and no fault
Where, Who, When? I ask
Though my love life is what I call a tormented past

You are worth to be loved... we all are.. first thing you need to learn is how to love yourself..

Kristina, Annieve said something that is so very true "may your past not hinder your future." We ALL have scars from our past failures but if you want to find true love you have to keep seeking it. Take care.

Thanks for the comment. The problem with my love that I have sought is that I have been searching towards the wrong love. Where I realize the love and value of worth I see for myself is more important to gain. Than go seek something unattainable from another.

Love can hurt and if he does not understand you, nor see your anguish, then maybe he is not the one.. deep write...

Love does hurt most when I am not understanding of why it is shaped with many expectations. There is no he. For once in a long time there is only I and my own love for myself to regain. Since I have actually struggled with the acceptance that I am worth it.
