Trying Not To Fall

by Lyndsay Kalyta   Jan 9, 2007


He pulled her in
As she pushed him away
She wants to speak words
She doesn't know how to say

He smiles at her
And looks in her eyes
As she stutters in her steps
And turns her head to cry

He's always there to catch
Her tears before they fall
Thoughts of him make her dizzy
As she leans against the wall

He reaches for her hand
As if he's holding her heart
It's gentle, yet says everything
She completely falls apart

She's trying not to fall
Because he's so far away
He may be standing right there
But everything is in her way

Her mind is playing tricks on her
It's telling her to leave
Her heart is the only thing speaking the truth
But she's not allowed to believe

Her heart says she loves him
With all her might and soul
Just being in the same room as him
Makes her lose total control

She's hurting herself and him
By not being there at all
She wants to love him badly
But she's trying not to fall

    Fantastic!
    =] Partly because I really am going through these feelings now and they are a little bit scary to me at times. The poem was perfection and couldn't get better. Wonderful job hun, keep it up!
