I would have lost myself, it's true
And been most miserable and blue
If I had tried to stay with you
You want something that I can't give
And I refuse that way to live
To sift myself as through a sieve
I cannot be someone I'm not
I'm not someone who can be bought
You're not the person that I thought.
Can't change the essence of my soul
And I felt stifled, truth be told
When you'd force me into your mold.
You really charmed me from the start,
But you will never own my heart
I think it's best that we both part.
I want myself, my freedom back
Although a partner I will lack
At least, my soul will be intact.
Indeed no one should sell their soul sometimes what you see is not what you get so tou did what you thought best and cut your losses well written ejoyed thanks
Good Morning, Barry! Did you sleep at all last night? When my fiance' died, the grief was so strong, I was afraid to go to sleep, because I was afraid I'd die and not wake up. I learnt later that's a common feeling. The hurricane has changed course. I re-iterate, please be safe! Not sure what got into me, to cause me to write this last poem. Usually I tend more towards love poems. Some relationships, hoever, are more like control, being violated, or being encroached on!

Rebecca is on a roll, reading and rating! :) You are one of my most loyal fans, and definitely one of the sweetest & most sensitive! It's better to be alone than to end up with the wrong person. At least, alone, you have your peace.
