I stand
In the middle
In the middle,
Where there is no path;
The walls are too high.

Love's sweet promises
Bade me smile -
But how does one smile
When standing in the middle,
In the middle,
Squeezed between
Broken dreams and the debris
From shattered
Realities!

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Wow, brilliant poem, thank you, Dorothy! With time our smiles might grow irony over the promisses of sweet love... I guess.. Love is sweet only before 20. After that may become salty as a possible need to create and nourish our heart for unconditional love..
