Question: Will you be there when I come!?

I’m Coming

Will you be there
Will you still want
Will you show trust
When I come to you

I may be wrong
I may be wounded
I may be weak
When I come to you

Can you love
Can you accept
Can you console
When I come to you

I ask these things
Because I know
One day

I will need you

With a poem like this I would prefer to recite it to myself in the mirror!.

It makes you stronger when you learn to be fully independent, which includes emotional indepence!.

I just learned that recently!. I`ve been betrayed, and abandoned enough!. I got so sick of it, that I said, never again will I expect anyone to even hold me!.

I will hold myself!.
I will love
I will trust
I will console myself!.
I will not expect anything
From anyone
I must trust,
I must love,
Myself!.

Trust me, its not in vane!.
It`s in that shell & thin veil,
Which you said yourself
I have to protect myself!.

Again Hydropro you inspire me!. This one is yours, since I borrowed your words!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The poet is waiting to come to the person addressed until his needs become apparent!. This is a question one may ask oneself, but in my opinion, it would not entice the other to wait!.

My immediate personal response to this poem would be something like "what about MY needs!?" Or "why should I wait, he will not come until HE needs ME!?"

This is not to disparage the poem's form, but only the message as it affected me personally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The first paragragh
first line has you wondering
if the other person will be there
2 and 3rd lines are about still wanting
and the ability to show trust!.
When you come

Next paragragh
There is an admittance of being wrong
and being hurt, leaving you feeling weak

You are wondering if the
other person can love
would they be willing to accept
and look past errors if any

This is good to plan ahead
to avoid getting hurt

"Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when I'm 64!?"

The eternal question "why!?" is hotly followed by "will you!?"
Unsurety and insecurity are Human traits!. You are not alone!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


You need not ask!.!.!.!.
Those who will be there for you
Will be there
because they are willing!.

But when the time comes
for you to come
make sure you have already been there
even for just a while!.!.!.

Inside their heart!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your poem, but I would flip the coin,
To me this sounds like a one way street!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
