What is my potential to love?
Has my heart already been broken
Too many times?
Can I ever place trust in anyone again?
And even if I did...
Could they do the same for me?
I've got bad luck,
I'm your unlucky charm
If you ever decided to care for me
And I would run,
Never turn back around,
Just show me that something is real.
I need this...
I need...
Realism.
Touch.
Passion.
Trust.
LOVE.
God, show me they still exist.
This is my prayer
Tonight.
Look in my eyes
Tonight.
Don't ever leave me alone.
Not for even one night.
I don't even get the option of
Falling asleep to dial-tones anymore.
My ambition?
It washed on shore.
Someone out there, hear me out...
Give me one last thing to believe in.
Show me I still have
Potential to love.

I thought that was quite first rate, you used the right sort of syntax that made the flow of the poem roll through your head making it easier to take in all that the poem says.

Thanks. ^_^ I just kind of let the words roll out of my head, so not a lot of thought really went into this one. Rather, not a lot of EXTRA thought.
