Close to perfect

by Molly Elizabeth   Nov 13, 2004


She wasn't always this way,
She used to smile and laugh...
Now she stares, relentlessly
in search of her broken past.

Her life didn't used to be this screwed up, she used to have a reason. Now she cries In hope for love... she used to always act so tough.

They were so close to perfect,
she should have known It wouldn't last. But none of that matters now,
It's all in the past.

Her life Is full of tears now,
and endless nights of fear.
She felt that she had everything,
but everything wasn't even near.

She used to be in control,
she used to have it all.
Now she finds herself tripping
shes so afraid she'll fall.

She always acts so careful now,
she's hardly living at all...
Whats the point of searching for love, If your too afraid to fall?

    Wow, I can really relate to this poem. I felt that way until I finally closed my eyes, crossed my eyes, and took a dive (heart first) into love, and now I've got the best boyfriend I've ever had and everything's so much better than it used to be. I've been both a heart-breaker and heart-broken, and niether side is too good to be on, but love is just one of those things. Keep your hopes up, girl, and don't be afraid.
    Love Always,
    Kate
