Fear

Indescribable feelings,

Love has left me reeling.

Wondering where to go from here,

Trying to not give into my fears.

Fears of not being loved in return.

Fears of being left and getting burned.

Wondering when I will find that one,

The one who completes me.

Who can always see.

Exactly how I feel,

And know that my love will always be real.

Fearing he doesn't truly love me like that,

Aching inside at the thought of it being fact.

Just wishing I could find my one true love,

Wishing he would be sent from Heaven above.

Sent to love me as I will love him,

In the end we will both win.

Not knowing where this crazy journey will go next.

Hoping I have found the man of my dreams,

The one who makes my knees go weak.

The one my parents are dying to meet.

That special guy who treats me like I deserve.

One who isn't afraid and doesn't lose his nerve.

Wanting this journey to come to a close,

The heartache I have endured no one knows.

I hold my pain inside,

At the end of the day man have I cried.

The tears have been shed more times than I count,

I just want the one who doesn't cast any doubt.

This journey can't go on forever,

Because I feel like giving in and saying never.

Never again will I search for love.

Never again will my heart fly on the wings of a dove.

My journey is done,

To you I confess.

I can't take someone loving me any less.

Any less than what I deserve to be,

In his eyes I can always see.

Confessions of a broken woman,

Tired and weary from this never ending journey.

Wanting nothing more than to give into defeat,

Just tired of searching for the one.

This poem caught me a little off guard. I am writting a poem about this exact subject except im not looking for a man ! LOL.
Your poem is "eyeballs deep" in longing. A lonely heart is a vulnerable heart. I know because i own one . Once you find love, the work begins . For it is easy to fall in love but hard to stand the test of time and hardships. So many are quick to fall into love without giving the big picture more then a once over. Unprepared they find themsleves when trouble finds their relationships , which then fall apart. Sound like i have some experience ? I saw raw emotions dripping from these pages and lines. leaving this reader feeling your seaches urgency. Very nice work !!
