An answer to our song.....


I was crying
the tears were yours
and I thought it was supposed to be magic
that I could wait the days
watch as they slipped into years
patiently awaiting your white horse
but see
I have this unnerving flaw
Passion....
it burned
and waited for you
but it never got the answer it sought.
Forgive me for my mishaps.
they were more than mishaps
but i was afraid
that I was only an option for you.
Excuses
yes I know.
As it turns out
we both have them now.
Now i find myself
and you
aging
seeing us never get what we want
because of things
that get in the way
like the future I want
that you aren't ready to give
because I've broken your trust
your heart
I know this......
But understand
you broke my heart also
I am crying
and the tears belong to you
to our broken dream
to you
the one who holds my soul in his grip.

nicely done ma'am... there is a raw honesty to these, and yet the reservation..the holding back as well that illustrates the control around emotions shared..
good stuff...

Interesting write. Well-composed and effectively worded.

As for content, i.e., the subject here, I suppose we can only relate to such words through our own (the reader's) personal experience. I have read a lot of laments from innocent victims of love, for sure, but also similar stuff from a few heinous murderers and other at-the-time undisciplined felons.

Your poem stirs me, it is both passionate and deeply emotional.

Nice to read you here again, Temptress~

Very powerful, very emotional, full of passion for love lost and futures failed. I bow to you and yours.
