NOT perfect

Love's not perfect

I learned that the hard way

I've never actually fallen for the right guy

I can't fall in love and not end up crying

cause when you fall in love

your taking a risk

to either break your own heart

or to spend an eternity in bliss

Life's not perfect

and I learned THAT the hard way

I've never gotten anything right on the first try

but what's life without a few mistakes?

or love without a few heart breaks?

nobody and nothing is going to be perfect

just for you

but...If you ever need a friend

I'll be here to help you through.

Author's Note

The tone tends to be confessional so any roughness for me tends to lend a personal feel to it...within limits of course. The tone is restrained, you avoid the excesses which are so easy when we get hurt. And you look at the situation pragmatically. I'll point out a possible typo in line six, "you're" for "your." "Your" could be correct, it depends on your meaning there.

The whole poem almost reads like a break up, someone expressing an understanding of their hurt, and reassuring the other that they will be there for them. I liked it.

A Beautiful Poem from the heart about Life's "Perfect" Imperfections!! Great Write!!

[Barbara Walker]

I think it flows well, it's not all, pity poor me and very upbeat on the last line. " Your taking a risk" should be "you're taking a risk". It's a nice poem, I liked it. Barbara
