The Fear of Losing You

Your words speak volumes
profoundly touching my heart
Now that you have come into my life
I don't ever want to part

For I would be lost
endlessly searching for you
and what we once shared
Please forgive me, if I come across as scared
Simply want you to know how vital you are to me
Just want you to know I care
You wield the power to set my shackled spirit free

At times I can be frightened because I have ached, yearned for you for years
Though your tender heart and thoughtfulness
delicately dry my tear-stained cheeks and erase any doubts or fears

It might seem strange, uncanny and a little bizarre
we might be far apart in distance
yet you dwell within the confines of my heart
I would never neglect you or shut you out, leaving you in the cold
Together, every second is precious; I can't hide my feelings for you
I am compelled to be bold.

I want to be your strength when you are feeling weak
I want to be your optimism when your outlook is bleak
Words can only say so much
but I have boundless love for you

Together, we'll weather adversity,
hands firmly clasped, strolling along a moonlit street
My one and only, who I would travel through time to meet
I would endure a battered heart and string of broken relationships anew
My fractured heart is now fully restored; I am forever grateful for you.

Hi, Lori,, Welcome to Poetry soup I hope you enjoy the community. You'll find friendly poets who are ready to support and give positive feedback. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Other than that I will read, enjoy and comment with positive feedback. Remember, keep posting, stay in touch, TAP my shoulder when you have a new poem. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. You might find my support addictive. I've been a SOUP Poet for 6 years. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. I'm from Texas, How about you? Tell me a little about your poetic skills. I will enjoy following you and your poetry :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
