You push me away, For a better view you say, After inviting me into your life, I don't understand it, What do you feel, You've reopenned that crack, In the dam of my heart, The one you so recently sealed, From whence these words pour forth, I love you, But you doubt yourself, You want to become better friends, Yet make no effort for the goal, You don't seem to understand, The implications of this turn-about, I feel like its something that I did, Its my fault you want some space, My fault that I risk losing, You whom I seek, My fault that I run the chance, Of forever being apart, Now I realize the truth of it all, For I was granted the infamous role, That of the rebound, In which our chances were squandered by hasty fate, Tear me apart, For now I may rebuild myself, A fresh start, Yet never wholely healed, The dam is bursting, The dike is cracked, My heart is breaking, But will you come back, I can only wait. |

Oh, it is hard to hold your love back and stay an arm's length away to give them space, while all the time wondering if it's going to do any good. Yes.......I know this poem, and I know the frustration. And I know that I enjoyed what you wrote here!! Live...Love...Be grateful for both!! |

All good things come to those who wait. The key rests in learning how to wait. Thank you for sharing. Bob |

I would say you deserve to be more than a rebound. If it is meant to be it will. All writing comes |
