Wow...this is an awesome poem. I truly understand the way you feel...I think everyone knows that is hard to open up our heart after being hurt, but sometimes it could be good. If you never take the risk...you will wonder your whole life! I love it 5/5 Take care.

Great poem Bill... From the heart and gut wrenching!

Life is full of hurt.. I think we have to go through a lot of it to find the right person for us. Seems dispairing. Letting people in our hearts is human. When we are let down it is hurt so harsh and hard to bear.
Beautiful work!

I think the only object of your poems is to portray exactly the pain and beauty you feel about that perticular topic, and you do just that Bill. Good job
