Do not fall in love with me

Do not fall in love with me,

I will never really, truly believe.

I will be waiting, watching ,suspicious,

Is this the moment when you leave?

My being is littered with broken hearts,

Shattered dreams,like pointed shards of glass.

I step on them, I bleed but I never learn,

It hurts, but how do I quench my soul which burns?

It starts off like a firework,

Fast, explosive, out of control,

Eyes seeking, hands twining,

Sparkling, singeing, going berserk.

Do you see me crying, well disguised, in my smile?

The need which asks, may I now rest a while?
Is this the place where my battles end,

where I will be accepted for who I am?

Or will this also fizzle out like all others?

Leaving behind black smoke which smothers

Will this also be another failure, another obituary,

An alarm bell for the unwary?

Maybe you will light up my sky,

With  the moon and the stars,

I will no longer live a lie;

The sun will rise, I will show you my scars.

Thank you very much for your kind comments! :) I guess its the phase of life we are at, when we've been through all these experiences and can look back and analyse where we went wrong, what kind of people we chose to spend a part of our life with.

you're right, there is plenty to be picked at and wrote about after a good bit of life experience for those that know how to get it down in words..and to be fair, you nail it perfectly, love it :)

so beautiful... your words seems very powerful as they speak deep feelings of a heart... it flows very well and makes the reader feel its emotions... there is a melancholic tone in the poem which makes it more sounding... full ratings....
