You say you need me in your life
You pledge undying love -
But there are places in your world
That you can't rise above;
You say I mean the world to you
You'd sell your soul to spend
Just one more precious moment
If that moment wouldn't end;
Yet every time we try to fit
The pieces all together,
There's always one that's missing
You can never tell me whether
You'll ever find a place for me
Inside your busy life -
One day you think it's all for naught,
Then want me for your wife;
I'm walking on a tightrope
Trying hard to stand my ground,
I think I'm making headway then
I have to turn around;
Nothing ever changes
There's no hope that I can see -
I think I'm finding in your world
There's no place there for me.
Your facility with traditional form is awesome - it is obviously the perfect springboard for your creative spirit to fly. And the content of your verse is so honestly penned - like a soliloquy in a Shakespeare play, you weigh the two sides of your contemplation and shape the whole with great finesse. I guess all I can say is you can't change them, no matter how hard you try. They are as they are. Such a tenderhearted poem. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
wow real sob story. i feel like sobbing. linda it flows like a song. keep the good work up.
L, you could have written this just for me. It has brought more than a tear to my eye. Some men (in particular) were just meant to live their lives alone, I think. And as Frank says it is indeed flawless, and any 'imperfections' (from another perspective) simply serve to grab more of the reader's attention. t x
Midnight...There is always a ray of light to be found...sometimes we're just looking for it in the wrong direction....This is a brilliant piece of work....virtuallly flawless in metre & fluxion.....Arguably, one of your best, i'd say, based on pure literary principle.And, HAPPY(2 hours/your time) after ST. PATRICK'S DAY! ~Fj R ~ ..2008..
