Torn Poem by Lechelle Jones (01.24.91,D.C)

Im always on edge waiting for him to slip up
Any time a girl comes around
I feel are time is soon to be up

I can't trust him at times because of our past
I know its wrong but I feel we won't last.

I try to stay but true love shouldn't be forced

Im jealous all the time and that's not good at all
I pull myself together but then I still fall

Yes I do love you with all my heart but I still have so much pain in me I still can't seem to part

You say you'll never hurt me but I've heard those words before
I don't know what to do but I feel we should be through.
I don't want to spend my life with my heart torn in two.
