Worth the risk, or risk the worth?

He opens the door open for me, I say thank you, he replies with a thank you in return. 

I never knew how easy it was, guess it’s one thing you never think to learn. 

And I told myself that I’d never fall again, not even for the hardest line. 

But darling you just came along, filed yourself perfectly into my life.

 

When it's least expected it seems to go, oh so fast

And then the daylight turns in to pitch black

& it seems -

That you slept in the thoughts of my dreams, oh so slow

We’ll never know where we could go, where we are going

 

By all means I never had intentions of breaking my own heart, 

And now I really understand why it’s called will power, should have learned it in the start. To see that kind of sadness in your eyes, well I knew it was a lie, 

Somewhat like the line you used to fit and destroy my life.

When it's least expected it seems to go, oh so fast

And then the daylight turns in to pitch black

& it seems -

That you slept in the thoughts of my dreams, oh so slow

We’ll never know where we could go, where we are going

 

And I know some where along the lines of time, we’ll know; How to take the things we love and leave them far behind. I hope-- I hope you forgive me for what I’m about to do. But none of it was worth the risk, not even loving you.

Author's Note

I feel a bit childish when I re-read this. Not sure if it's my own train of thought, or maybe I just don't take enough pride in my writing. Honesty please!

Not at all childish... I think the fault is in the rhyme sometimes... it's easy to fall into the 'nursery rhyme' type of flow with rhyming poetry... which makes it challenging to break while in the confines of the rhyme. But this speaks of maturity, and the last line nails it on the head. Nicely done...

Quite good.

A harsh reality, love gone astray...
It's so fantastic when you have it
but when faded it's a pain you
never want to feel again. Nicely
done Sarah...
