Trust Me

by MyEscape   Dec 14, 2007


I've been thinking things over lately
Trying to organize the chaos in my head
Still a little shocked by the honesty
Of all those words I said
(And the ones you said.)

Expected you to let me down
Thought you'd see a child, but you saw me
Always been a little shaken
When standing in new territory

Secure but insecure with the situation
Because we may or may not make it
And I know you're wondering
If I'm strong enough to take it

But you're going to have to trust me
The way I'm having to trust you
Let your restless thoughts settle down
There's nothing else you can do

Yeah this is all out of the blue
Caught me when I was off guard
But that doesn't mean I'll back out
Just 'cause things will be hard

Your strength, your will, encourage me
To be the strongest I've ever been
Never fought so hard for something
I may lose in the end

I don't expect promises of forever
There's not even promises of today
But I thought you needed to know
Breathe easy...I'm going to stay

I'll deal with the crash if it comes
I know I could make it through
Wouldn't be the first time I've lost something
Doesn't mean I want to lose you

And if this works out for us
Like I'm praying it does every night
Then I'll be glad I didn't back down
Because I thought it too big a fight

Your worth the chance of failing
Your worth the chance this will work
And I don't want you to be worrying
That we both may end up hurt

So like I've told you before
No matter how hard it may be
And though there are no promises
I'm pleading with you to trust me.

    Sometimes things happen unexpectantly and then the rest of you has to catch up. It's disconcerting, and it makes you feel shaken, but it's a part of being normal too. You get that way when life takes you by suprise and you look around and realize you gotta figure things out for yourself and there isn't a guidebook. You just do the best you can with what you have and try to step right.
    "Always been a little shaken
    When standing in new territory"
    This was the other line that kind of hit me, that kind of struck me...
    "I'll deal with the crash if it comes
    I know I could make it through
    Wouldn't be the first time I've lost something
    Doesn't mean I want to lose you"
    We all have lost people close to us in one sense or another, my personal opinion is that you need to gaurd you heart to what extent you can to minimize that crash...when and if it comes. In other words there are different levels of emotional commitment, some warranted, some logical, and others not. Too many people sell themselves too short when they think about the risk vs the gain. At the same time you cant be afraid to try, cant be too afraid to open up so that you cant even feel, so that's why i like this peice, it's a very complicated sentiment. I gave it a 5!

    Excellent piece. You really developed your ideas nicely throughout the poem. Great job.

    & thanks a ton for the comments! They're really nice. Hopefully I can check out more of your work either tonight or in the morning. I'll def. return the favor (it might be awhile, though -- my bf and I are making Christmas cookies tomorrow so I may not have much time for the internet! lol)
