Changing - Rearranging ~Marge Tindal~ 1999 When we met you shared, with praise, all the things you liked about me. I was just who I was, no one else I wanted to be. Through the years you tried to make me into someone new. Always wanting me to change the very things I knew. One day I looked in the mirror, not sure of who I'd see. I don't believe I know myself. I don't see a resemblance to me. The day you said you were leaving, stunned, I asked you, Why? You said I wasn't the girl you fell in love with ... I had changed ... Oh, my ! Changed? Changed? My whole life you rearranged. Now ... just when I thought I suited you, you've decided to move the furniture again ! ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Very nicely expressed.......I can see this looming in the near future for a couple of my friends that are dating...... ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Ah...change, sometimes I love that word, sometimes I hate it but it always seems to be there, doesn't it? The furniture's alway moving around me and I keep tripping in the dark...good poem marge, love the ending. michael |

Wonderful - and very insightful. The desire to change another is one of the true enemies in a relationship. |

So many times the things people admire about us are the things they want to change after they have us. I agree, Marge. It's a BUMMER. |

StarFairy2-Thank you. SD-Call the moving van. Hoot-Iloveit-RS-Martie-Sounds like you are all related! Michael-I can see 'tripping over the furniture.' Elizabeth-Thanks, I consider that a personal compliment. I don't have to live it to write it...and maybe it helps someone else. Severn-Relationships should be worked and then re-worked. Takes two to move furniture. Balladeer-Oh, my friend, right ... it's a bummer to set about to change the very things that drew you to a person to begin with. *THANKS TO YOU ALL. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
