“WHAT I NEED TO DO” by Bill Charles ~~~~ I wanted to change things, but it didn’t seem to work, perhaps it’s all this togetherness, wonder if it’s a quirk… Why can’t things be calm, instead of many harsh words, coming out when we speak, piercing, like so many swords… I truly believe I’ve tried, to make things the very best, but we never seem to be able to speak, to each other, without words of protest… A question when I ask, is only a question returned, all of these head games, I only seem to get burned… So a decision I’m making, right from my heart, if we can’t live together, hell, so let’s be apart… No more arguments, and no more of this fussing, I won’t even do anymore of, this damn cussing… You can go your way, and I’ll head right out of state, and won’t be looking just yet, don’t need another mate… Want to smile, mend my heart, find some serenity, will this pain ever find it, maybe somewhere….., in eternity… ~~~~ |

Relationships tend to balance themselves over time... The needs of one tend to outweigh the other at times - Then vice versa... and so on through the time we spend together... One bends - Then the other... vice versa and versa vice... When is enough enough?... A good rule of thumb is when the imbalance just doesn't settle... When the negatives outweigh the positives - and there's no way to fix the scale... Then - Enough is enough... Keep smilin' and writin', my friend...  |

knowing when to let go is one of the biggest lessons in life. Knowing when to move on. And knowing when you need to simpily step back and heal. I like this poem mostly because you've touched on all of that. My compliments!  "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |

Ah Bill, sadly, every man's got to do what a man's got to do in this case, the same as the ladies have to make the same decisions from time to time.....good write!! The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges. |
