About the Poem

The poem talks about wanting to trust. Trust someone you have compassion for. However, still wanting to hold back. In the end figuring out that you have to trust yourself more than anyone else. Only you can hold yourself back from living and loving.

Falling

by Chase

I softly fall into his arms.
My dependent self wanting to depend on him.
My independent self wanting to pull away.
His body so warm.
My heaven or hell?
Should I let go, should I fall and expect him to catch me?
Fall and hit hard?
Float on a cloud?
I shouldn't rationalize.
I shouldn't analyze every little move, but I do.
His soft lips of pink.
Hair the color of pure black softness.
His eyes as blue and crystal as the sea.
Soft hands of love, warmth, and compassion.
I can not fall, without knowing I will not hit the ground.
Do you have to fall before you can float upon a cloud?
Maybe I can't let go of what's holding me up.
The dependent side wants to say no.
The independent side says take a chance.
Falling . . . I will catch myself.
That much I need.
Then I am no longer dependent.
Individual thoughts can be only me.

I really connected with your poem. I have met someone after 1 and a half year of being alone. and learning to live alone by counting on myself. Bringing someone new into my life is scary. So. that is why I love the peom.
