When we lay in bed And you hold me near, Nothings ever said Thats what i fear. The next day you just walk away, And I know your going, Theres nothing to say. So why do you bother to come back, If you know all the things I lack. I cant just be a lay, Let you walk, And never stay. At some point I have to take a stand, Know whats mine, And take command. But if you think your having your way, Think again, I have things to say. So lets stop playing this game, Its only going to cause both of us shame. |

Very good poem... I can understand this one, sort of the best friend with benefits that can get annoying sometimes? Makes you want to say, if Im good enough in private, why cant I be in public? Good point  Time flies? Say it not so, time stays we go. |

I liked your poem alot.....your style seems to be alot like mine....however sometimes a no strings kind of relationship could be fun.....but not if he ignores you in public!!! Great writing from the heart here!!  Julie :) |

'Speak your truth quietly but clearly.' Oh how true this is such honesty, come out of the shadows and all that. Well done |

Never settle for less than you deserve. Great writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
