Poems: Thoughts

The Lesson

Try and try and try some more
Yet love is just an empty shore.
I've not found anyone worthwhile,
Yet the bad are like crocs on the nile.
I need to take my time, but yet
I just feel so upset.
I want someone to help me balance,
But I'm afraid I would be callous.
I'm afraid of opening up again, but yet
I crave that feeling again. To let
Someone back in is hard,
Since its not like a song by a bard.
I'm just worried that I'd be in the zone
Close but still far. I had known
A chance, but she wasn't for me.
So I left and let her be.
She wanted something more,
With this massive bore,
But she saw something I didn't.
I did care for her, not in the way
She wanted. I think it makes me say,
Yes next time instead of going away.
All's well that ends well, they say.
My guilt still lies hard in this very act,
But in the spirit of being tact,
It was my best choice. I would hurt
Myself and her.
The lesson of this dear tale
Is to let love in, and try not to fail.
