Risk

by Shalisa   Nov 14, 2004


Over and over I play the lines you’ve said.
Everything is spinning uncontrollably in my head.
My heart is set on the way I feel
My mind disagrees, but it lost the deal.

These feelings are so unbelievably strong
I can’t help but wonder if what you say is wrong
Sometimes I feel like my hearts alone on the line
You won’t give me yours, but I gave you mine.

You have all of me in the palm of your hand
I wish you knew how I feel, maybe then you’d understand
I fall more and more in love as each day goes by
But still, I can’t seem to tell my heart not to cry.

My love would be strong if I wasn’t so scared
Maybe then I could show you how much I cared
I need to remove my layers and dismantle my wall
It would be a great risk, to risk nothing at all.

I may end up with a broken heart
But I guess promises change, as I’ve known from the start.
I love you more than I could ever say
And I will keep praying that you will love me in the same way.

    You know, we are a lot alike because we seem to feel the same way about these type of things...only your poems are better =P. I love this one too, along with all the other ones.

    I love ur poem. I can relate to it. I've been going threw some tough times when it comes to love. I'm in love with my friend karen for 5 years now. I've waited for her for so long, but i can't seem to tell her because i'm afraid of ruining the friendship we already have. But i don't want to live my life regreting that i never had. I've been trying to sort things out in my head i'm going crazy. Well glad to have read ur poem.
