Poetry: What does it take?

by Hope Mcmahan

Created on: February 04, 2011   Last Updated: March 20, 2011

What does it take to keep a heart from breaking

How can I trust you when all you do is tell me lies

I take it slow but you say no and I end up feeling blue anyway

You say you love me but why should I believe that

What does it take to make you wake

and realize what you would lose if I was to say goodbye


What does it take to make the Earth Quake

Is seeing you, and knowing it through

I believe in the benefit of a doubt and second chances

There is more to me than you can see

Cause my love is strong and it will carry on


What does it take to build a bridge of trust

A patient heart and a clear mind

When I first met you, I knew I would love you till the end

Tell my instincts are not wrong but right

So I can keep our powers strong


What does it take to be more than friends

To carry on a relationship through tough bends

I hope you understand the way I feel is true

That I really do...do and will always love you


What does it take, it takes an answer

Yes or No, that is all I really want to know
