It's Not You Poem by Lori Koch
It's Not You
Bite your tongue
Don't want to hear your thoughts on the subject
Just want to put my hat on
And get my head on straight
Maybe I agree
But do I have to say it for you to know you're right
It doesn't matter
I still want to be wrong
Because it's not you
Who sleeps with these dreams
And it's not you
Who has to wake up
To find that things aren't right
Slay your dragon
Do what it takes
But please don't pretend
That you do it for me
This dress is my distress
I'll wear it if I want to
It's just my style
You can take it or leave it
Because it's not you
Who sleeps with this unrest
And it's not you
Who has to wake up
And find the will to fight

I am pleased that I decided to read your poem. It is giving me much to think about and reminds me of this bit of dialogue from Guy de Maupassant's short story called Solitude: Whatever we may do or attempt, despite the embrace and transports of love, the hunger of the lips, we are always alone. I have dragged you out into the night in the vain hope of a moment's escape from the horrible solitude which overpowers me. But what is the use! I speak and you answer me, and still each of us is alone; side by side but alone.' Nice Write.
