The Fine Line

I crossed the line
with you
now I'm falling
in despair.
I purposely chose
the fine line
now I sit like a corpse
in this chair.
I blast myself
for thinking
you could,
or would change.
Being a sponge,
and a conniver
is your only
visible range.
You wiped away
all of my kindness,
now you expect more.
I feel like a hostage
agonizing
all the whys,
and why-nots
of human reflectiveness.

I read this several times, I think it is worth learning by heart. It is beautifully written and so, so recognisable for me.

Sue: Thank You for your response. I wrote this about my brother-in-law who I keep thinking will change.

Dreamer, you have a wonderful ability to pack a lot of emotion in few words. It is a gift and you excel in it.

Balladeer: Thank You so much for the compliment, I just write as I feel, I guess sometimes it really comes across.

WhtDove: Thank You for your compliment, one day maybe I will learn, and spread my energies in a more apprecitive direction.
