How

Short poem that can relate to anyone I think :)

How can you make me feel strong and weak all at the same time? It’s like you can hold my heart and choose to break and I’m afraid. I need control although a part of me says to trust you. My heart might be made of glass but not of stone, I can feel, hurt, and I cry. I've been down this road too many times only to be left on the sidelines.  How is it that you help me gain a grip of reality but take me to a fantasy. I just don’t understand but something tells me not to question it. I dare not show you the battle I’m facing but you're helping me win the war. How can I understand and be so confused? Why would my heart be set on you? These are the questions I ask myself and then I realize that you are the answer.

Author's Note

Ok I don't have too many short poems but this is one of them :) I really liked writing this one cause I feel it tells the confusions and joy of liking someone. We all go threw it at one point. When you like someone and your feelings are pretty much everywhere and you don't know whats going to happen haha :) I gained inspiration to write this poem from friends and what they have been threw. Hope you guys like it!!

Another well penned piece, Rosaria. The questions, the emotions behind every word left me in awe of a piece that resonates deep within my soul tonight. "You are the answer" ..... your inner voice speaks loudly, yet that feeling of "strong" and "weak" is a constant battle. The line that really stood out to me the most is "How is it that you help me gain a grip of reality but take me to a fantasy." Our heart tells us one thing, our mind another.

A CONTEMPLATIVE WRITE HERE...YOU GO THROUGH THE SPECTRUM OF THE RELATIONSHIP AND TELL US THE PROBLEMS TO THOSE WHO ARE TUNING TO THE STATION OF THE REALITY UNFOLDING BEFORE US...THE HEART IS A FRAGILE ORGAN AND YET YOU MANAGE TO SUFFER THE HEART ATTACKS THAT ARE THROWN AT YOU IN THE LINES...UNDERSTAND YOURSELF BETTER AND ABLE TO REFLECT A BETTER MEANING TO MOVE ON THE PATH...

AS YOU STATE IN THE LAST LINE YOU ARE WILLING TO OVERCOME BECAUSE THE PERSON IN YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT AND HOLDS A VALUE...AND AS THE PIECES LAY OUT IN THE VERSE...YOU COME TO FIND THE RESOLVE THAT IN NEEDED WITHIN THE QUESTIONS YOU ASKED...

I WILL SAY I NOTICED A COUPLE EDITING AREAS IN THE READ:

I've been down this road to many times only to be left on the sidelines.

JUST SLIGHT CHANGES IN EDITING...WE ALL HAVE THEM...THE STUFF WE ALL LOVE TO HATE...GOOD TO READ THIS ONE....

YOU'RE WELCOME...THERE'S NOTHING TO BE SORRY ABOUT...ERRORS ARE A BASIC FACT OF WRITING...YOU MUST DO SO IN ORDER TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE YOUR CRAFT...

This feels like the heart getting a sense of self; gentle, vulnerable even but not without strength and the need to grow and learn.
Loved it, thanks for sharing!

That you can hurt another or be hurt by the same weapon...In reference to your piece, there is a double edged sword in between the two people involved...:-)

I love it. I am glad you said its just a poem because if it were a real situation my advice would be stand clear. The gut feeling that leads you to have a certain amount of distrust is usually the voice of reason. That inner voice trying to warn you to keep the hurt away. At least that has been the experience of those I have known that did not listen to that voice.. The heart wants what the heart once but that inner voice knows better.. Loved this imaginative piece.. Thank you for the rr.. shallimarRose
