Drifting Apart Poem by Practicing Poetess

Drifting Apart

Rating: 5.0


I feel us drifting apart.
The bond we once shared is weakening.
The close connection is fading.
Now, other things occupy my time and attention.
But, isn't this what you wanted?
A friend said I should write you off.
What a shame that you could not
Hold onto and keep love, where you found it.
Hearts need to be tended; Love needs to grow.
But you cut it short.
How sad for you, that life gives no guarantee
That you'll ever find love again.

like a bed of flowers it needs attention and care, and it will whiter and die if you're not there

Hearts, like gardens, need to be nurtured with TLC (tender loving care.) Neglect can be deadly. Hopefully, something will prevent the withering & painful death. Thank you, Louis, for your insightful comment. :)

Aqua, thank you for understanding, which I know you do. Like me, you do not throw out poem ratings like PEZ candy; we are both very conservative in assigning ratings unless we feel a poem is truly a cut above. That's why it means so much to me that you gave this a 10! Thanks to ya, gal! :)

The bond shared of love when weakens this brings sadness and provokes thought. The feeling about close connection goes on fading. But there is trust and and there is hope. Separation is temporary and pain is temporary. Love needs to grow and we hope love will grow soon. Love strengthens life. A nice poem is excellently penned...10
