Stumbling Downfall

by She Loves Me She Loves Me Not   Jun 28, 2009


I have so many things that I want to say,
Everything I feel, is inside me to stay,
Words so delicate they could ruin it all,
But loving you is my stumbling downfall.

One slip of the tongue, and I've lost you,
Our friendship at stake, I can't pursue,
So many memories of you, I like to recall,
But loving you is my stumbling downfall.

I have more to lose, than I have to gain,
You're one in a million, that I want to retain,
Without me, who will catch you when you fall?

Yes, I know..

Loving you is my stumbling downfall.

    This was really sweet. I could feel the emotion in your words. The flow was just fantastic! and so was this stanza,

    One slip of the tongue, and I've lost you,
    Our friendship at stake, I can't pursue,
    So many memories of you, I like to recall,
    But loving you is my stumbling downfall.

    That was just soo breathe taking. Choice of words in it was great. 5/5 keep it up.

    Losing is friendship is alot greater risk than losing a relationship. I like how you portrayed this with your words. Memories can never be forgotten, good or bad.

    This is indeed a sad write, its better to have put your friendship first though.
    Even though its a pretty short poem your stanzas flow into each other perfectly and you get the massage of the piece straight across.
    Good Write, will check out more laterz
