Whatever happened to those good old days,
When I could glance into your eyes,
And see MY reflection in them,
When I could count on you for a hug everyday,
And your laughter rang like a bird in song,
When you would lean on me in utter confidence,
Sending me into a euphoria,
Into which nothing penetrated but your fresh spring scent,
When I could depend on you to worry about my health,
How you would ask if I was ok when I wouldn't talk,
I revelled in your affection,
Secretly praising you as my goddess,
Now,
Now I must struggle for a moments attention,
Feeling as though I am nothing but a burden,
While to my agony,
You cast your bottomless eyes unto other men,
And I silently watch from the corner of your existence,
Satisfying myself with unstable reassurances that if I just hang on,
Just a little while longer,
You will once again,
Search for that friend's embrace,
And I will be there,
Just like in the good old days.

Well, I have to say this is sad, but very good. I hope you don't mind, but you've inspired me; and if I get the courage, I might just post an answer poem of sorts. Welcome here!

Oh, to have one to count on that way...and to be one to count on that way. Wonderfully miraculous things to accomplish.

You've written well of the ache and confusion of realizing you're no longer special to someone without a clue to the whys and wherefores... and the regrets of good times not lasting. Welcome to Passions!

This reminds me of my life right now. Except I am the woman and it isn't other women he looks at, it just isn't me. i miss the way it used to be.

Welcome!!! First this made tears come to my eyes, hot and fast.....I had a guy like you once upon a time.......I worshiped him.......he never returned it so I went away......if he'd have made one sound of wanting me, I'd have been his for life.....it wasn't to be.....and I still miss him, in a quiet corner of my heart.....whew, I rambled off there didn't I? what I mean to say is that this touched my heart, I love it!

Welcome. Very touching, excellently done.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

The Poem was very nice, but I would like to ask how did you get to post it? I have been trying to post for days and it says they have no room for anything new? Is this a private poetry room..
thank you,
Ocean..

Welcome and you wrote a heart wrenching poem. I, too, know what it feels like, but on both sides. So believe it or not, there is still a chance. It will take lots of hard work and you have to ask yourself if that is what you really want!
Hugs, ME
