As I wander this earth in total darkness
I wonder if your really here.
There’s a feeling of emptiness and fear
that guides me towards total loneliness.

I have allowed you to see my thoughts.
Yet I am still hesitant to believe in you.
Are you really there for me completely?
Or have I allowed you in so inadvertently.
Oh help me, help me if I have been caught
With my heart left open so innocently,
For it was not my intent to be had so easily.

I do believe in the words you say
yet your sincerity at times frightens me.
I am hesitant to release myself completely.
Cause of the unknowings of your loyalty.
Hopefully there will be a day
that I can trust you and your authenticity.

I am left to decide if I want you in my life
Cause your search for my heart has struck a chord.
Yet my mind has to deal with my daily strife
and I still worried based on my recent accords.

Please allow me the time to understand you
for it is me that refuses total familiarity.
Not you my friend, not you without a clue
that deserves my honesty and harmony.
Will you permit me some time to accept you?
For this would allow us to live in perfect unity.

very nice time we all have

good one

Oh time well spent I'd say. To find that one. Very good poem and expression of your feelings.

Nice and honest write!

May you find the trust, and the one who is
worthy of that trust!
