Last Night

Last night we should have made love,
but last night you seem
to not care, you held your space
and did not share.

Is my physical attire not to your liking,
do I not compliment
you in a pleasing way? Am I stagnating
in your eyes?

Why I ask do you not care, I start before
the sun and never finish
before high midnight with my duties for you
and always with you in
the for front.

What could it possibly be that keeps you
from me. My insides are
raging at your separateness that you have
chosen, my heart does
break at the sight of your deadness.

How long do you think I must go on in this
one-sided love affair?

Tonight I think I will not be there, tonight
I think I should not care
and tomorrow I will not feel the loneliness
of this one sided affair.


BY, Cerenity

Please take note that this was written a long time ago, and I thought of it because this is how im feeling, but I don't think the poem its self is that good, thank you.

Cerenity... I tend to disagree with you    I thought the poem was good.  Obviously written from a lot of feeling... and when that happens sometimes it doesn't seem all that good... because we don't believe it perhaps expresses enough!  The subject matter is hard to write about sometimes... you did it well    Take care.

Hi Tara,

Thank you so much for your kind words, your are right the subject matter is so hard to write about because it consumes my every waking minute with pain and confussion.

Love, Cerenity

I know the feeling when you're with someone yet you feel all alone because they are not emotionally available.  Take care..James

I like this a lot, Cerenity. I think it is very heartfelt, and written very well also. Take care. It's a bad feeling to have, I know.

I do not judge, and I do not enjoy many poems. Yours left me with a sincere feeling. Whether it'd been time ago, or feeling again, you have the gift to paint feelings into words. If the past hasn't left y et, please, and I do beg continue to write and share.

Peace, Love, and Happiness Forever

This poem has great merit in its depth of feeling and the ideas conveyed.  Seems like something my wife and I have been talking about lately...

It has stirred thought and feeling in me, thanks.

I think this poem is really good
and left me feeling as if you were
reading me

so many things that we relate too
anyways
your poem is really good
