Torn
I am torn apart.
I have this unwavering love for her,
And yet, part of me doesn’t want to get close to her.
Because I am afraid.
I am afraid!
I am afraid of opening up myself again
And getting hurt.
These two parts of me have wage constant war,
And it is tearing me up inside.
This emotional pain is by far more painful
Than any physical pain I have EVER endured.
It is so painful because it is a constant pain.
I feel it when I am away from her, unable to sleep.
I feel it when I am close to her.
I especially feel it when she smiles,
That is when this pain is at its peak.
And it nearly conquers me.
Sometimes, I just wish this pain would end,
For good or for ill,
But it hasn’t yet.
I have wished, even PRAYED for this torment to stop,
But for some reason it persists.
For some reason I cannot let go.
Lord have I tried!
I have tried a dozen times.
And all it takes for it to fail,
Is a simple smile.

Dude I can relate to this so much it hurts. I honestly don't know what to say since I'm blown away, but i wanna say your not alone. i've been where yer at so many times
And yet, part of me doesn’t want to get close to her.
Because I am afraid.
I am afraid!
I am afraid of opening up myself again
Loved it...

Wow, I love your description of this type of pain. Many of us have felt it, but have been unable to put it into words. Well done! But I think such a deep, descriptive poem needs a different title. Torn has become cliche, as much as it fits in this instance.

I've been through exactly this so recently reading this poem felt like rubbing salt into the wound. I, too, was afraid. So I did nothing. And now I have resolution, but of the most painful kind . . .
Excellent poem.
