All or Nothing

All or Nothing

A Poem by Lexi Richard

I suppose I understand
Why I have some confused -
I either am cold to the touch
Or icky sweet to you

If it's real, you'll know for sure
Ill turn you into art -
1000 lines of sing-song rhymes
Is the inside of my heart

If that's not the case, you may not know -
You'll never see me leave
I won't pretend, lie, or bend
My emotions just to please

So if it's true, I'll take the leap,
May stumble or may fall
Because I either love with all my heart
Or I do not love at all

- l.r.

Smooth flow especially the last stanza and last two lines of it nailed it and gave me the rush I was hoping for..well done!

Thank you!
this poem is really good, the way it flows is natural and doesnt stop . i like how in the poem you tell that your not gonna change your emotions just for people and that youl stay true to your personality. it also kinda reminds me of how by changing how i acted to people i fooled them to think the fake me is the real me but the real me i only show to my friends and sister whom accepts me for who i am. my family sees the real me as a bad day hopefully when i get out of the house and on my own i can start to just show the real me instead of the mask i crafted.

Old wise saying. "love and hate. A heart beat apart".
"Because I either love with all my heart
Or I do not love at all "
Love is fair. Need two people wanting the same things. Thank you Lexi for sharing the excellent poetry.
