Enjoy ;)!

The
anxiety is smothering me,
Threatening
to pull me under.
Here
I’m not meant to be,
Here
on the verge of surrender.
The
wondering is choking me,
Trying
to halt my breath.
Can
you not see
The
nearness of my death?
The
questions keep hounding,
Finding
me in my deepest refuge.
These
doubts are abounding
Like
an unannounced deluge.
Capture
the anxiety,
The
wondering do let flee
Give
answers to these questions
And
doubts turn to mere apparitions.
Then
finally will I be sure
Of
all that I feel.
That
here you’ll always be,
Only
mine forever more.

Found myself here several times, constantly doubting what the other feels and what i also feel for them. It goes to say that when the question was answered, i found myself proved right, i was not worth the adventure, she wasnt ready to invest in the relationship. I wasnt ready to ask her to try a bit harder, i know i gave up...but i wont do that again.
ReplyDeleteLovely poem and sorry about using your comment section for a rant. This is a poem that we can all identify with.
It's refreshing to see that someone totally gets what I was trying to say :).but sometimes we do need to try harder and might end up getting the best thing ever. if we don't try, we'll never know! ;)
