What would you rather me do

Question everything or to be a blank canvas?

I am trying to balance between the two

 

Want to figure out why I’m like this when these emotions are new

I know either answer after a while could end up with me losing you

Sad to say being without you could heal my mind but yet, where would that leave my heart?

You tell me ‘Being positive is a start’

 

I wanted to stop there but now I’m stepping back

And you are right, I am being negative and where is the trust?

Maybe it is our different worlds as there is so much I don’t understand

Want to be stubborn and show no emotion to get back at you

Wait...

I know that is not fair and of course all this is not fair on us.

 

You want me to be confident I can do so

I am the best thing that can happen to you

I’ll comfort you when times are hard

I’ll turn your giggle into a screaming laugh

And the physical act of love?  Well I know when you know enough is enough

 

I need you to see my true self

Tell me you know me, for me to take my obstacle down

To make you proud, to turn my frown upside down

To truly know you are committed, to feel safe and sound

I think by now you can tell, I would like this to be true love

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

i would like....I want love...strong and soft words are mixed:enough is enough, frown upside down. Exploration to devotion, exploration to what you think " is this what i feel? is that what i have?" keep exploring
