Do not hesitate to tell me it needs work because I will heed your advice! Thanks! Love you YPDC! [bodytext] => If we stop this now,
I can break my fall-
Stuff my melting heart
back behind its cold wall,
Even pretend that I never really
knew you at all.

Please speak the words,
Save us both the hurt-
We can go separate ways
Before we make it worse,
Walk away with our pride
and escape love's cruelest curse.

There is so much on the line,
We can't afford to hesitate-
With just one more touch,
It could be too late,
And this very kiss
might seal our fate.

But we can stop this now,
Pull ourselves back on track-
Turn from one another
And never look back,
But baby run far enough
that we won't ever cross paths.

If we stop this now,
I can break my fall-
Stuff my melted heart
back behind its cold wall,
And pretend, that I never really
loved you at all........

Well... it's 3:00a.m. where I am as well, Juliette --- regardless of the late (early?) hour... there is no overlooking the fact that this is terrific. I can absolutely see why you are excited about this... it's poignant, well written and quite touching. I'd strongly encourage you not to overwork this... there is something here that tugs at the heartstrings... too much tweaking and that could be lost. It is, I think, exactly as it should be and it's beautiful.

Left sighing,

Very beautiful write, I don't see that it needs any work done to it. Perfection can't be out done.

This poem is excellent except for the rhyme schemes in verses two and four. 'hurt' could become 'hurts' to rhyme closer with 'curse' and 'worse'. But i can't think of a rhyme for 'back' instead of 'paths'. Otherwise a very good write.
