Heart Is Running

Heart Is Running
I want this,
But then again I don’t
I hate arguing with my mind
My heart never knows what it wants
Too scared to take any chance at all
Knowing its loosing something that could be great
I pull away when you come close
But yet I run back for more
Your nothing like the others
Charming, sweet, a gentleman
So why does my heart reject it..
I don’t want to hurt him
Because he’s so much more
Than anyone I’ve ever dated
I don’t want him to fall
But I’m afraid he already is
My emotions are every where
I can never gather them up
And find out what I feel
They swim inside me
Leaving me so confused
I always wonder what it would be like
If I took this chance with you
But I always end up
Pulling away and losing this..

Taking a chance on love is what we spend our lives on. Hoping we find it. When we're not taking a chance, we're consuming our thoughts trying to keep it off of our minds...not wanting to be hurt by the very thing we seek. Excellent!

Nice poem about the difficulty of choosing ''him' or 'you.' Am I right, that there is a him, other than the person who is being addressed in the poem? This could be made clearer with stanza breaks (after 'reject it' and after 'already is' - thus putting him in a stanza of his own. Or you could italicize him to make it clear that the shift in person is meant - and if one is reading the poem aloud to signal for emphasis so the shift in person is obvious to the reader. Just some thoughts, as well as a reminder about you're instead of your and losing for loosing. Good poem.
