To Love Again

I have loved and I have lost
Give my heart at any cost
Had it broke, thrown in the dirt
A full force smack of hurt
But someone came to my side
Pouring out his love, giving me his heart
Wiping away my tears, Giving me my pride
Holding on to me, holding me up high
Sending me smiles and giving me love
Showing me what love was really like
Not sure that I could love again
I don’t know where to begin
How to find all the pieces
I’m trying to pour them in his hands
As he promises he can fix it
But to love again after the last time
After all the loss I went through
After all that was taken from my life
It’s all scaring me to death
I don’t know if I can give him my best
But all he asks is to love him
And just leave him with the rest
So I am going to give my heart to him
And try real hard to love again

I feel the same way…This one person loves me really much and I love him, but a part of me is scared of telling him that I love him back. I got hurt before and I don’t want to tell him cause i am scared of facing him.

i understand how you feel because i always had people using me and stabbing me in the back like if i was trash. they are just imature and they need to grow up and understand that getting used is not the best thing theyll hate if we used them and if we make them look like a fool and they still not understand that they lost a really good person and they had to lose them with some other person that was not good at all

This is so powerful…I can’t believe I wrote the song on 07 June 2009 with more or less the same meaning as this poem because I was inspired by the love I’ve just got in my life which I was so scared to give it a try. Woow! I’m really inspired by this and I guess I’m going to attache it to my song because they share the same title…Love Again!

That’s a great poem! I know how it feels to try to love again when you been hurt really bad. It’s hard, and scary, but sometimes, it’s worth it in the end.
