I, at night, have been occupying such a sorrowfully poetic environment that it is nearly impossible and borderline unacceptable for me not to immortalize my encounters, by hand, on bound pages. I knowingly dove headfirst into a whirlpool of conflicting emotions. 900 miles away resides a man smitten with me; I left him wallowing in the dust of a Volkswagen belonging to a man just a tad more exciting at the moment. Barreling through Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, and Kentucky, I knew no regret. Something about the driver to my left veiled my conscience. Was it his spontaneity? His mysterious persona? The way he put a smile on my face with little to no effort? I could continue to list the ‘maybes’, but that would be superfluous. I’m sure the true reason I find myself in his bed nightly, is because I’m aware that I will never enter his heart. One will always chase what they cannot have, it’s true… So I’ll chalk it up to that. Either way, Friday’s sunrise will bring a literal half-world separation between us for another year, and I will return home to the man whose love for me will run down his cheeks as I attempt to console him… as I attempt to console myself. It’s no mystery as to why sleep tends to escape me at night.

I've been that man, left behind ... repeatedly, for 7 years ... love can be very forgiving ... but it will eventually snap when stretched beyond its tolerance

good writing

Hey at least you're honest.
Quite the cascade of feelings.
Poor man's love almost emptying his love account.

It's always hard to share pieces of ourselves - pieces that we may hold close and private. I think that is what draws me to poetry and to some prose. It takes a certain amount of courage to bare the soul like this.

Thank you.

Ok, I think first of all that I have no idea what a prose is. If it means a statement, or musings written as a story then this is awesome.

Second, the honesty is devastating and provokes strong feelings. This, too, is awesome.

While it's sad that people get hurt in the love game, it's also seemingly inevitable for as long as human beings live because there is a lot of guessing and confusion involved, and the sad fact that we don't always love those who love us, nor are loved by the ones we wish for.

ms amber..the capture of feelings and thoughts is well done..seems we all do this from time to time..from one side or the other of the window too. Eventually we get it done back and get to feel both sides of the itchy wool agony.

I imagine you are truly worthy conversationalist. Those can be difficult to come by. I suppose we all have our own taste in that, though. This was both refreshing and enlightening
