Four Thousand Locks

love is hard

Wow,

isn't this new,

you've found one more thing that isn't true,

you think I don't try for the benefit of you, 

but talk is cheap and you wouldn't have a clue,

just when I think I've done it, 

another conflict pops up, 

this is why I raise my chin up, 

I'm in a hard place pinned down for you-always for you,

so much for you,

and I can't even lie,

I love the thought of you,

but it never matches up,

as soon as we are happy, excuse me, you-then me,

it goes corrupt,

I can't risk everything, the best I have, for what,

I've lost so many times,

what's it worth,

nobody in my head knows what to do,

maybe it's there,

maybe it's not, 

all I know,

my heart is tied up in four thousand locks.

I've just read a few of your works. These thoughts, i can see them so clear. I've had these same feelings, thoughts, emotions, in the last year. I hope to see more, for it helps me through all the fear. Hmm, this is weird, i just accidentally started a poem. lol
