i lay listless in my cave
with doubt and self loathing.
i wonder constantly,
as some I'm sure,
what the heck am i doing?

why is it so easy to make promises
yet so hard to keep them?
why do i suppress my heart
but spew out anger?

it was easier then, so much easier
but that was then and this is now

how do you pick up the pieces of your heart?
will trust come as it did when i was young?
will i feel something besides this emptiness?

many unanswered questions
keep me wary and timid...
or is it just myself?

Well first I have to say this was beautiful! I could feel the pain and confusion in every line. I also have to tell you NEVER give up on love! I have been where you are now, hopeless and on the verge of giving up, and at times it may seem really rough; you may be scared and confused and feel all alone but it wont always be that way because one day you are going to find the person that opens your heart and makes you feel alive and new again! =D <3
