There Is Nothing I Can Do Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There Is Nothing I Can Do



I wanted with you to share happiness.
That and my wishes you rejected.
And that time to you did come to arrive,
When you found your rejection to me done...
Riding on your back with guilt to feel.
You returned. Smiling.
Believing for you I would be awaiting.
Believing for you my feelings remained unchanged.

But as time reveals to all of us accepting it slips away,
Wounds do heal from a tolerated pain kept felt.
And whatever it is today you may feel...I don't.
And is a fact of life I awakened to face.
All I ever wanted for you was to have happiness.
With the hope that one day you would have it.
And if you don't have that as I do now,
There is nothing I can do but wish you well.
