Love

My greatest fear.

I have a fear.

Not of darkness or pain,

but of love.

I fear that one day love will hurt me.

That it will trick me.

Fool me.

Ruin me.

I fear that one day love will hurt them.

That it will make me do something that I don't mean.

Leave them.

Blame them.

I fear that one day I will be lost in love.

That I will do foolish things.

Leave my home.

Hurt my family.

I fear that love will cause me to lose myself.

Become someone I'm not.

And yet,

Love is what makes things be the way they are.

Love can be a good thing,

but a fear helps cope with life's temptations.

I loved the poem it speak , But don't ever be fooled by love alone, Wow I remember my 1st and I became very hurt I did some foolish things. Love can blind and hurt. True love now that is the love in which you know is right:) Fear does help. The best love I ever seen was agape love:)

Nicely written. In many circumstances, love can either hurt or heal. Love healed for me, thankfully. Thank you for sharing.
