Trying in vain to free
Myself from you
Noticing the discomfort
Hoping change within
Will see truth instead of hope
Or fantasy clutching my heart
In a future that has a reality
As I look at you nothing
Shows itself but sorrow
Even as I fake it you must
Sense my dismay at how I'm not able
To overcome you so easily
Parting from today's venture
Has left me sadly empty
Longing for how I felt to love
You.

Rick this is such an excellent write! So emotional, and your word choice is just stellar! I love the way you used the lines. Instead of just a diary piece this is true poetry. It reads so easy and captured me from the start. Such talent. I will be reading more from you.
