Complications Poem by Briana Rhymer

Complications



I hate the fact that I still feel this way...
I keep telling myself it will pass some day...
Honestly, it just stays in my heart...
It's even harder when we're apart...
Sometimes, it feels like I'm about to break down...
Why is it so hard? 'Cause you're always around...
What is so confusing about this all...
Is that I sit around waiting for you to call...
Knowing in my soul that things have changed...
The future of our lives has been rearranged...
My heart pleads for you to come back...
But no....you just stay there and watch....
As I slowly, steadily, fall to pieces...
Melting like a sun's damage to a Reese's...
You don't know how I feel nor anyone for that matter...
It drives me insane 'cause I try but you scatter...
You run away, huffing and puffing...
Can't tell you the truth...you're not ready 'cause you're bluffing...
Yet, I'm still here waiting...can we try something new?
I think of this everyday...yes, i'm still in love with you.

Thanks so much! ! ! In reference to your puzzlement...the person was always around in the same area as me and hanging with my friends...but we barely spoke to each other as if we were strangers... so we were apart....yet always around each other...and that's what made it so hard. I'm glad that you liked it though. Really appreciate it :)

i really LIKED this poem, though, in general, for me to see another love' poem is only TOO soon. catch my drift.? but it was more of a 'falling to pieces' poem than a 'falling in love' poem, so it was ok! thanks for the punctuation and proper spelling of contractions; i can't always count on getting those in a poem, and i miss them. the only thing that, at least at first, puzzled me a bit were the words: 'Cause you're always around... other lines indicated that the person was around only now and then. maybe you; meant always around town but not always around YOU? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - my favorite lines are: My heart pleads for you to come back... But no....you just stay there and watch.... As I slowly, steadily, fall to pieces... i think it is great that you did not force a rhyme here; it could have damaged the wording of the poem. and i like how you continue the second line into the third. nice! not using a rhyme helps draw attention to these 'most important lines' of the 'story'. AND the slowly, steadily alliteration was a nice touch. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - thanks for sharing. even though it is sort of a love poem, i'll send it to MyPoemList. bri :) [nice first name, by the way! ]
