I think this is a very powerful poem. I like the questions you've posed, and how they can result in so many different answers. The frustration you seem to be expressing is evident, and very relateable.

One suggestion I might make would be to take out a lot of the commas at the end of lines. Punctuation is usually meant for pauses, and I think the poem would be even stronger if you took a few of them out, so that the reader didn't have to slow down. That way the emotion would continue to build until the very end.

This was lovely, and I hope to see more from you soon!

Cheers,

I love this poem . . . the idea is a question I've often wondered myself (who hasn't??)

Plus it has notes about those bastards who stomp on your heart and scar it.

Love all your work!!

It's unbelievable how you wrote this and put to words exactly how I think and feel.

This poem is just WOW. It explains the truth and I can, (along with many other people im sure) relate. Nice job.

i think youll know someday, cause we all feel it some time in our lives even if it is for a short time...keep looking for it and keep dreaming and wondering about it, but never forget that its out there, no matter how much you get hurt. :) "just stiffen that upper lip up..." - eminemand -asha

very very lovley...

I have the same problem. I don't trust anymore because one person screwed it up. Sounds like you got it too. Oh well! There's more to life than love I suppose. Beautiful poem, it does amplify the fairytale version of love.

Fantastic! Really fantastic! So fantastic that I wish i hadn't read it. That isn't an insult, it's a compliment. It's my way of saying "i can so relate" but i try to avoid saying that. Lol, ops, just said it! Well, great poem!

Hi again. This is how I used to feel, until I meet my boyfriend. Don't worry if you still feel like this you'll find how it feels to be in love soon. Every one has someone. I know how you feel, I used to feel the same, always reading about love and writing about it so why could I have it. Don't worry the right person will come.

hun this is really really pretty. I love how it really expresses how you feel, what you want. it's very pretty =)

Great, emotions excellently painted. the last verse really got me "Because of you, I will always hold back, Afraid to trust, Therefore I’ll never know, How it feels."But if it makes you feel any better. When you meet that person, none pof that will matter, keep on searching-Keith Andrew

That's sad. Always holding back because of fear. I know that real well, but there are times to just let everything go and to quit being afraid. This is speaking from experience. For instance, I was always afraid of eventually being hurt and afraid to trust so I've had no experience with any emotions close to love... however, now I'm 18 and I finally have my first boyfriend. If it doesn't work out, I know that there will always be someone else out there who will pick me up off my feet and allow me to trust and love again. Gomen... a bit lengthy, but your poem actually portrays my feelings as well.

I never encountered a poem about this feeling before, it's great :)Truth is that I asked myself this over and over again for years, untill I found my love. Keep it up, these subjects are great to write about.

ironically, i know how that feels, the whole holding back thing. not too fun. this poem is pretty easy to relate to. its well written. nice job.-silent rain ^.^

that was really touching
