Breaking Through

An expanded response, to KLGoode's http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/amendoim1988/1448616/

Bittersweet memories
Of chances
Not taken.

As flashbacks
Appear before me
Of love abused
By someone close.

Want to commit
But terrified
Of what may happen.

Just once
I want to share
What's inside
With you.

To hold

What my heart knows

As the truth

With you.

Embracing you

In the affections

Of one

Starved for love.

This feels like a very honest plea and a hope for what we all want: someone we can trust with our hearts.

It is, Momzilla.

This is truly beautiful. You and I write very similarly, in terms of spontaneity and feel. I guess that is why we relate to each other. Thank you.

Thank you, KL, I had an inspiring poem, as the basis, to work from.
