Is This Real?

My chest is heavy
I can't breathe

This is real, isn't it?

I'm setting myself up to get hurt
Like I have in the past

This is real, isn't it?

What makes you different?
Nothing, you're all the same

This is real, isn't it?

Convince me that this is meant to last
Help me see that it will work

Is this real?

Stop me from leaving
Tell me this is real

Some questions can be answer by taking chances and luck. After disappointment in love. Fear is our protector. I like the emotion and questions in the poem. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Ardent emotions expressed wonderfully. Well done. Thanks for sharing. I think many of us can relate to the feelings displayed here. Being hurt in past relationships can make building new ones difficult, even scary.
