Im incomplete without you... View table of contents...

It’s not as though I chose this way,

If just afraid of what might happen,

If you knew.

How would I know if I was making a mistake?

I wouldn’t be able to prevent the aftermath of pain,

If you didn’t feel the same way.

I want to take a chance,

But I’m afraid it will go wrong.

Would you accept me?

Would you trust me?

The way things are,

They make me wonder,

And I want to change the silence,

But I don’t know how,

How to take the first step.

How do I know it won’t be disaster?

I feel so incomplete,

And so alone,

Without you.

But I just can’t seem to change the way things are.

Fear gets in the way,

So many times.

How do I know that what I see is true?

Will you leave me?

Abuse those three words’ power,

And break my heart?

Will you use me like the others?

Or really love me?

It’s so hard to make you see,

What I suffer,

When I wonder,

What would you do, if I said I loved you?

What would you say?

What would you really think of me?

This pain won’t go away,

Not until I know.

But how do I do it?

I feel as though I will never be complete.

I’m so confused,

Caught in so many feelings,

I don’t know where to turn.

Will you love me the way I love you?

Or will you be indifferent to my pain?

I remember the last time I let someone know how I really felt,

Who I really was,

They mocked me,

And left me.

Stitches can't repair a broken heart.

I’m afraid if I get too close,

Everything will go wrong,

I’m expecting the worst.

Please prove me wrong.

Show me you aren’t like that.

I would be so vulnerable,

How do I know I won’t be hurt again?

How do I know that things won’t go wrong like they have before?

If I take off my mask,

Will you accept me?

Will you love me?

Or be afraid of me?

Incomplete is all I feel.

Incomplete is all I knew,

Until I met you.

Will things ever be different for us?

If I offer my heart to you,

Will you rip it apart?

Or will you protect it?

If I trust you with my life,

Will you shatter that trust into pieces?

If I fall,

Will you leave me there?

Or pick me up and comfort me?

There are so many doubts,

I don’t think the chance I want to take is worth it.

I don’t think I could bear anymore pain.

But my other half is missing,

And I won’t be complete without you.

I’m so lost.

I can’t say what I feel,

If only I knew.

Wow Danielle, I know just how you feel. It's hard when the person you love is oblivious to how much you really care about them. It's hard, but somethimes you just have to take the chance. They'll either care about or they won't. It's always best to find out in the begining so you don't end up hurting for a long time while in the dark. Great poem.

Thanks so much. :] I'll keep that in mind.

I can honestly relate to this as well...not knowing how, when, or if you should tell the person how you really feel about them...and it's like killing a part of you inside. I have gone through this, especially with one particular person in mind, and basically I was mocked, or rejected, after he had led me to believe that he really was interested in a relationship with me...the problem was, that once I finally, after many, many months of "just being friends"...yet somehow "dating also"...I finally spoke up and confessed my true feelings for him, and he basically said "I don't know...there might be someone else"....and then, get this-"I don't really want a relationship right now"....all this in the same sentence-yeah, well, at least I found out; cried a little since my heart was ripped out...but then in about a week...I began to heal.....and it's another story from there(cuz one of his friends finally confessed his love to me lol.....:D...and I ended up engaged....but it didn't work out later on)...but someone else will come along..don't worry...I hope that that someone listens to you, and I don't think that that life will be this crazy...then again, crazy ends up good once in while...man, I always spill my guts out when I read stuff like this=btw, I luv your writing, as always...;)...and I agree with mystory-take that chance anyway asap!

Wow. I'm so sorry things didn't work out.. :/
But thanks, and I'll keep that in mind. :]

This was sad.I liked this poem.We all think that.What if we open our hearts,and he/she refuse us,but what if he/she accept you.You will never know if you don't try.But its hard to make a first step.It is.And sometimes you gotta risk...Well,really great poem.

Yeah, I guess so. Thanks so much. :)

Wow my absolute fave line was "Stitches can't repair a broken heart" so so true...a broken heart is never fully repaired but it can eventually seem that way =D It's so hard to trust and let your feelings be known after you've been hurt so much! But you will eventually find a person worth all the trouble =D great job!

This is exactly how I feel in the "relationship" I'm in. So beautifully written. Nice job.
