Holding Back Myself

I am holding back
Myself
From your charm and charisma
After all
I don’t want to fall in love again
With you
Only to be cheated with broken dreams
No, I am not
Accusing you or even predicting
I am being rational
Free from expectations and untouched by trance
Definitly not!
This is not at all easy.
But tell me
Do I have a choice?

    Sometimes love leaves us with no choice.

    Can't say really. Do you feel you have a choice? That is crucial...

    The heart sometimes gives us no choice, but that is the adventure.

    Emotional. An expression of what you feel or might feel. I'm not sure about it as a literary work but it probably has great therapeutic value, I can think of a number of women to 'prescribe' this poem for.

    Sometimes it is hard to look rationally at the feelings of the heart!

    it's good if rationality works...there will always be an 'if' factor... :)

    I think sometimes things end - and it could be that it was for the best,

    So, yes. You have a choice always, which is why stepping back--making that one delay--may be the best choice of the rest of your life. Very well expressed.

    had to trust if you've been hurt one too many time...but some are irresistible.

    If you're feeling this I think it might be too late.
