Author's Notes:
I have to say my story writing skills are better than my poetry skills..but I tried! Let me know what you think...lol.
A relationship once perfect feels like it’s gone.
I wonder if you’ll ever love me, the way I love you,
Or if you’ve even started to begin to.
I lay in bed near tears, wondering if I want you to see,
How badly your lack of affection is killing me.
You used to look at me with such adoring eyes,
Now you barely touch me, like it was all just a disguise.
You sleep on the couch, but say it’s nothing personal against me,
But how can you say that, when your actions don’t prove a thing.
You can see how it upsets me when I ask if you’ll join me in bed,
And you will for an hour, but end up leaving again instead.
When you asked me to live with you, you seemed so sincere.
But now I am beginning to think that you don’t want me here.
Even though a mutual friend said you were nervous to ask and excited when I said yes,
What are you thinking now, because I don’t even have a guess.
We have so much in common, even the littlest stuff,
Was I foolish to think that that was enough.
We’re both ditzy, carefree and lack common sense,
But that’s what made me want you, not even the least bit relentless.
You told me that you wanted to wait until marriage before you had sex,
But then when we did, it made me feel like I had something that was above the rest.
It’s been over a month since the last time,
I feel you regret it, I was a waste of your time.
I want you to know that I’d do anything for you,
I’d climb the highest mountain, go to the moon.
I’m beginning to wonder what you’d do for me,
From what you are showing, it wouldn’t be a thing.
What would you feel if a robber came in to my work,
Pointed a gun at me, the lowly register clerk.
Demanding all the money, or he would shoot.
Would you worry for me, or laugh like it was cute.
Would you be upset if I were to die,
Would you shed a single tear, would you even cry?
Would you go about life as if nothing were wrong,
Not even noticing that I was gone.
I don’t want to give up, praying things will change,
And that our relationship is just having a rough phase.
It’s a difficult reality for me to try and see,
That maybe we just were not meant to be.
