A Heart That's been Scarred

 

I’m constantly showing love whenever I can,

With my smile my laugh or through the touch of my hand.

I know how pain feels already, I've experienced it time upon time,

See though I can give love it’s hard to receive love because that voice keeps talking to me in the back of my mind. (Saying)

It would be hard to start all over but do I even want to start at all,

Begin to like someone until sooner or later I fall.

In love so deep so deep that there wouldn't be a rope long enough to pull me out,

And the love from that significant other is something that I couldn't live without.

Now the love that is seen through these eyes of mine is something that I hold to be true,

But when you see love from your prospective that love can only be seen by you.

In that way and the way that you see it,

You whisper to yourself it’s real it’s real until somewhere along the line you start to believe it.

You just know within your heart and mind that your woman or man friend feels the same,

A few sunrises a few sunsets love goes through change.

Could be for the better maybe for the worse either way over time theirs growth,

You don’t see your lover the same way you did in the beginning because the changes have affected you both.

See what usually happens is the feeling you had at first it deepens intensifies and rises to a whole other level your vulnerable now but you don’t stress and could care less what anyone else thinks because... 

 

The feelings to deep inside something you want to hide,

A feeling that can’t be described basically you've bought your ticket jumped on the bus and are holding on tight for the ride.

Making all kinds of plans enjoying the good times enjoying the laughter,

Hoping your stories gonna end happily ever after.

But hold up why’d you stop laughing,

Tell me what the hell happened.

You mean when you were running down your list and making all those plans,

You didn’t write down the steps to take the moves to make just in case their was another woman or another man?

Walking around with a smile on your face as if you were walking on air or floating on cloud nine,

Their was some shady happening taking place but to that fact you were blind.

So when you fell in love so deep so deep you let down your guard,

That cloud you were floating on disappeared and you fell kind of hard.

The point of all this is to show that it’s funny the way love goes,

Sometimes resembling rough raging waters or sometimes a cool steady flow.

Now this is only one interpretation of love as seen through these eyes of mine,

Just things that I've experienced time upon time upon time.

I pray that you don’t receive pain caused by someone else,

The same way that I did though I also prayed for myself.

I know I have you thinking and had your mind going thus far,

But understand this is only one interpretation of love coming from a heart that’s been scarred.

I know that feeling, I always had a love-hate relationship with love, but from your perspective I completely understand, good write

Afraid to fall, keeping her at an arms length Afraid of the pain and afraid of the fall She is everything And without her, .... (sigh) But new love beckons, hope is still alive His curiosity reaches out... Satisfied.

hmmm.... I understand by looking over the edge but still not jumping I may be depriving myself of endless possibilities of happiness on so many levels, but I'm also insuring that I don't find myself drowning in an ocean of unhappiness.......again.

Reply to Craigstyle: As I see it if you never get in the water you can never drown but you also will never learn to swim. And the joy in it all is being soaking wet and weightless....but what do I know anyway....lol

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
