I Am Afraid to Fall in Love Again

Christina K

If love is a pit,

I am standing at the top, looking down.

I cannot see the end,

I do not know where it leads.

It's scary, it's dark.

If I jump in, I'll fall hard.

If it's too deep,

I won't be able to get back out.

If it's too shallow,

it won't be worth my time.

I need an endless pit -

one that does not have a bottom.

I need an endless love -

one I can survive.

Great poem! It was my experience that love will find you, you don't have to look for it. Best wishes!

I agree with Christina S! Eventually love will find its way to you... the love you've chased has lead you to brokenness, some have said, " pain makes you stronger", so you will be amazingly strong when love chooses you!

THANKS CHRISTINA ~ nicely penned poem. In my experience whenever I have fallen in love ~ there is always someone or something there to catch me ! So ~ LEAP before you LOOK or you may never be brave enough to LEAP again ~ BRIAN
