Array ( [sid] => 50596 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Afraid to Love [time] => 2004-06-05 23:00:31 [hometext] => And even in darkness there is sometimes shining hope with love.... Guess I had to explain it again. Each stanza alternates from one person to another. [bodytext] => My love always told me
that we'd be forever
I always told them
love me or lose me.

Baby you know that
I'll always love you.
Darling I'd rather die than
lose one moment with you.

You know I love you
but it's so hard to
let them go.

Well baby I know
you still love 'em.
Don't worry I'll
hold you till
you let them go.

Sweetheart I know but
sometimes I get hungry
and others I'm thirsty
then sometimes babe
I stumble and I fall.

Baby I've been there so
when your hungry I'll feed you
when thirsty I'll quench your thirst.
Babe when you stumble and fall
I'll always be there to
help you back to your feet.

Yeah, but sometimes I cry.

Well you could shed
a thousand tears and
soak a thousand shirts
but still I'll be here.

And sometimes I die.

Well darling I know this.
I just want you to understand.
When you talk I will listen,
when there is pain I will share it,
when you feel like dying I'll live for you,
and I just want you to know that
I love you. [comments] => 7 [counter] => 268 [topic] => 14 [informant] => Black13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DreamsandWishes )

Beautiful. In the most beautiful kind of way. The last stanza is just perfect. Wonderfully written.

Well do I know this sort of hope that springs from darkness and loneliness.
It seems that deep down, we know such a love exists. Some there are that think they are incapable of feeling it... but no one has ever convinced me that it is just an empty dream.
Luck in battle, friend.

Jeffrey this was a beautiful poem... don't tell me your going soft lol j/k. Even though this was about true love (which doesn't exist) I still found this to be a fond (yes fond just seemed to fit don't ask) and enjoyable.

Black... Great job. Very sketchy, but seemingly realistic in conversation. Thank you.
