What This Is

What This Is

A Poem by Erika
"

A poem about the fear of love

"

I saw you there, and wondered why

I had to stare, into your eyes

Then realized, I could not hide

How I truly felt inside

I talked to you, for nights and days

and thought that this was just a phase

I hid behind my thoughts and fears

so I wouldn't have to face more tears

I slowly stepped out the comfort zone

and gave you the number of my phone

Once again, we talked and talked

We talked so much, that I was shocked

Soon a feeling began to rise

It kind of felt a little nice

but then I realized what it was

this once nice feeling turned to dust

My stomach turned. I felt so red

This once nice feeling transformed to dread

What this is, Is very clear

was pushed aside, but now held near

It’s what I feel deep inside

This feeling makes me want to cry

So surreal, yet so true

let's just hope you feel it too

My dear sweetheart,

I love you

The pace was good but the rhythm broke down in the last 4 lines....like you ran outta gas. Count the syllables of each line and you will see what I mean...a little uneven. That said you remember that transitional feeling of excitement to dread. True love ( : O )

Very nice rhyme scheme it make the poems flow very smooth. It is kind of troubling though when your first instinct toward love is fear but it is also very honest. I like how this is a love poem but it is not all hearts and rainbows...it is not a fairy tale it real and I really appreciate that about it. Great write.
