Ashli Jones Poet Free verse

So It Was Written

You want the answers 
To questions unasked
You want me to reveal all the words written in my soul
But what have you given
Nothing more than the three words you have recently shared
Love isn’t enough
To change the fact 
That doubt lingers in my mind
Maybe my doubt stems from my own insecurities
Or maybe from the fact I know what happens
When love makes you blind
Hurt quickly follows
Tears increasingly flow
Alone you become
I don’t know if I could love you
Because parts of me still yearn for him
Parts I ignore 
Parts that can’t seem to go away
Torn between what I should do
And what I can’t do
I miss the old days 
I wonder about the new ones
How could I give you my all
When my all is not mine to give
I was once so mesmerized by a man
That it almost killed me when he left
But once the daze cleared 
And the stars were removed from my eyes
Without him I was
And with you I became
