Poetry Train


Reaching
Searching
Wanting
Wishing

Knowing I can never have you
Holding something back
A friendship with barriers
So much for unconditional love

Needing
Crying
Laughing
Hoping

Getting closer to you
Pulling away from you
A friendship with limitations
So much for unquestioning love

Doubting
Believing
Trusting
Deceiving

Supporting your dreams
Crushing my own
A friendship with an end
So much for ever-lasting love.

    Isn’t that how some relationships go? One wanting more than the other. Then bitterness builds until the friendship is over. 🙁

    Thanks.

    I’ve thought about it, Melissa.

  5. Melissa says:

    Very powerful. I love how it gets successively more bitter. Reminded me of a former relationship of mine.

    You should do a collection of your poetry, TA
