Love...

Confusion,
Disillusion,
Hurt and pain,
Nothing to gain.

Broken hearts,
Worlds apart,
Promises spoken,
Very soon broken.

Ghosts of the past,
Will love ever last?
Will hearts always break?
Will I make the same mistake?

Broken families,
Battered trust,
And yet it seems,
Find someone I must.

I can't go it alone,
My heart will need a home,
Yet will I ever learn,
To let the passion burn?

Will I ever let myself,
Trust enough to jump,
Will there be a net to catch,
Me, or will I land with a thump?
