What really matters
when dealing with the heart?
Love
Trust
Security
I say its all a Farce

Call me young
Call me rash
What i've learned has been real
My ideals before meeting you
couldn't even prepare me for this ordeal

Like an egg in a basket
you can't shake it too hard
I think what really matters
when cradling someones heart
Is honoring promises.
Being mature
An Overall willingness
to be sure
that this love will last.
To make it endure.

What really matters
when your hearts on the line
I believe that each person
has to define
how far they are willing to go
before they're willing
to let go.

The path that lies before me
makes a part of me feel thrilled.
The prospect of creating something
that will make me feel filled.

The path i walk is never ending
with highs and lows alike
days of climbing up the hills
feels like a constant fight
The view from atop is more than worth it

The path that lies behind me
is filled with pain and sorrow
new experiences, love and loss
They almost don't seem worth the cost
but when I think of whats been gained
Lessons learned and progress obtained
I realize that it would be insane
to wish for things to be changed

This path I walk can be a lonely one
But i do not hide in fear
I embrace where i am
where I've been
and give a grand cheer!

Give Thanks to the path
the one that guides our way
We don't know whom we walk with
will be around forever,
or for just a day.
Take joy from every second
for this path you walk is your story,
your legacy left on display
Been noticing how things have been flowing effortlessly lately. I've Working on integrating myself and my emotions lately after some heartbreak. Glad i can come here and use poetry as a fun conduit :) hope you all enjoy my writing.

To lie to my face?
To break the promises and boundaries
we made for both our sakes?
trust is lost
You say I'm your true love
im worth fighting for
but as soon as I'm out of sight,
your actions show a delight
at taking what you want
cause **** his feelings, right?

Sweet words, with no action to back
I've waited too long
given too much
without receiving what i needed back
I dont regret being with you
for your my first true love
it just disappoints me
what you've chosen to become

I tried to keep our paths tied together as one
but what i've learned
tells me that it cant be done
because love that isnt given freely
will surely become undone

It seems to slowly fade
Feelings for you are a line of dominos, just toppling away
As much as i wish for just one kiss
i cant just dismiss
routines of the past
for not enough time has passed

Day after Day
I cant seem to shake this way
loving you was my dream
distance and time shouldn't have made you sway
because to dedicate yourself to what you truly say
to walk your talk
was there really no way?

Day after Day
i wonder if there will ever come a day
when were grown up, and fall back in love
like we did that day
I wonder
I hope
I pray
That one morning i will awake
to see you smiling at me in love
willing to do whatever it takes

were the chances i gave you
hoping for a change
I find it strange
when you say i love you, I've grown and changed
yet, you do the same

One too many times
i let you back in
blinded by what i wanted
ignorant to what was in front of me

One too many times
I put my heart on the line
knowing i was risking damnation
just to see you smile
all the while, feeding a hope
of a life not yet lived
of growing old

One too many
I can't ignore
the screaming coming from my soul
I must stand up
and say no more

One too many
promises left broken
one too many
days consumed by emotion
I gave you more than one too many
Now all that i can do
is let you go

Take the challenges that face you in stride
Of the heart, or of the mind; any challenge can be overcome by your own divine light
Be confident, know you deserve it
To live true to your heart, to be earnest
You know what you need to do, and though it may feel cruel
The highest good for yourself
will do everyone good
Just started writing poetry for the first time. I wrote this for a friend and felt like i might share it. Enjoy~
