A Poem by DarkPoet

"Who is in love with you" I was once asked
I thought of you and all I said was no one
Love is not such an easy task
And all must be involved for its battle to be won

Will I have to shield my insecurities
And be afraid to show you any sign of vulnerability
I need to be sure of your commitment
As there is more to love than just plain excitement

If I share with you all of my uncomfortable truths
Will you be a strong support like a tree with firm roots?
Or Will you get tired and become nasty and condescending
Then finally leave me alone hanging?

I'm not a Joseph the great dreamer
In reality and love in its purest form,I'm a firm believer
In times of great crises
Will you be able to make Sacrifices?

This questions are for me as well as you
There's so much we both need to do
Though my disposition is most times facile
I stop at nothing to protect my heart so tender and fragile

Until I'm sure of your intentions
And you have answered my questions
"No one" will still be my reply
To be courteous and civil with you,I'll try

The fears mentioned by the speaker are entertained by many contemplating marriages or long term commitments. Unfortunately there are no guarantees that a match will proceed smoothly. Times change, people change, or maybe reveal their true characters, which do not live up to our hopes. I can only advise trusting your gut feelings and refraining from unreasonable standards. Fear of getting hurt has kept many from the rewards a good relationship can bring.
