First+Poem+For+You

I think the reason that the author wrote this poem was to show that love can be scary. The girl in the poem is scared because she is vulnerable. The girl could be wary about falling in love. She could be scared to fall in love because she is afraid to be at risk to get her heart broken. Maybe the reason she is scared is that she doesn’t want to be committed because she doesn’t want to get hurt. The more committed you are the more pain it causes when you break up. The author uses the darkness as the girls shield from being exposed and out in the open with these thoughts of confussion. Whatever way you cut it, in this situation she is vulnerable.
