This is so poetically sad, very nicely written though.

Keep writing.

Its apparent that all of us has at one point felt this way and it just twists you inside.

I was along for the ride so to speak all throughout this poem and I felt for you.

Falling in love is like standing on a cliff blindfolded and extending your arms outward and trusting the voice that whispers for you to let yourself go. Do you take the chance and possibly find a great love or do you fall into something painful? I dunno. But half of the fear of falling is the seconds when you are standing on the cliff.

Probably doesn't make a bit of sense....LOL

I'm glad I got the opportunity to read your poem.
