About the Poem

This poem is about falling out of love and the inevitable pain that goes along with it.

Being young and risking it all, putting it all on the line, only to learn with the passage of years, that despite our best efforts sometimes, we drift apart and upon separation the one we loved and thought we knew so well seems more like a stranger than an actual stranger. It's the irony of Love. 		Love Poems

Risk
by Todd-Michael St. Pierre
Oh death may say of dreams in youth -

"You never knew her private truth."

So much we weren't prepared for,

Hearts should be nurtured and cared for.

I stepped into this dance with you,

I chose to take this chance with you!

Facing risk, I knew the dangers . . .

For when the dancing ends,

Though many remain friends,

Some become

Strangers!

We became strangers and will never know each other again; sad, but to remain friends and not be involved in each other's lives is painful. Choose your poison.

So very, very true. The risk we take is huge. Especialy when you are friends first then lovers and then attempt to go back to friends again.

Excellent! I was reminded that when I started what just ended, I chose to take a Risk. I was sure he was the one, yet my heart hurts once again. Stranger or Friend, that remains to be seen. For Love I will Risk again. Thank you for your Poem.
