I've tried to fight you
I've tried to stand tall
But I cannot avoid you
I crawl or I fall
To hide from this danger
Into folly I rush
But I'm ever so blinded
And easy to crush
I know not your weakness
So I sit and I wait
Knowing that help
Is far beyond late
You're uncontrollable
Yet why d'you restrain
From teaching a lesson
To my tired, wounded brain
Each time I step out
And look to the sun
Before it all happens
You've pretty much won
Yet I never remember
What the last outcome was
Even thought it would leave me
Alone and at loss
I do it consistently
Perhaps I will never
Put an end to this patteren
And forever endeavor
To over and over
See beauty in a face
And have bliss till disappointment
Has taken it's place
Then wait till the feelings
Have subsided at last
So I can reflect on my
Repetitive past
To avoid the heartache is to take the drama out of life and although you find yourself repeating the same bad choices, one day Mr. Right will turn up and you'll be able to laugh at those former dalliances that left you dangling and disconsolate. I like the self deprecating humor in this piece and its pleasing rhythm. Your final line rounds off the poem with a satisfying flourish. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
