Being with you
has been an absolute
lesson in futility
your uncanny ability
to reflect
deflect and
reject my thoughts
and reflections
my open
affections
attempts
at connection
is an art form
you have perfected
to a ‘T’

Goddamn
I’ve never
worked so hard
just to gain
so little …

My each step taken
trying to waken
your affectionate
sensibilities
a weight almost
unbearable
it’s frighteningly
terrible
how you manage
to keep yourself
at bay
with so little
to say
or share
and still
keep me
there
hanging on
tethered by
nothing more
than a
fragile hope

Do you even care
that you have
self sabotaged
yet another bond
a potentially
loving link?
What is it you
think a woman
needs when
she bleeds from
such a lack of
attention
affection
such total
rejection
of what
she has to offer?

Jesus Christ
are you
really
that limited
that you can’t
expand your
heart and mind
getting past
the first stage
of a relationship
maybe learning
what it is
to love and
be loved?

Are you always
bound to shut down
when the ocean
of emotion
starts getting
a little too deep?
Why don’t you
jump in!
learn how
to swim surfing
the waves of
contented
commitment

Good lord
I’m tired
my energy
sapped
expired
I’m burnt out
how you kept
this ride
in first gear
for so long
is baffling
What IS
that fear that
keeps you
from gunning it
and driving
full bore
into that state
of togetherness?

Well, I’m wore out
this is all too deep
I need some sleep
This affair of
the heart
that once held
such promise
appears to have
ended
quite badly
leaving me
broken and
sadly …

… exhausted …

From the look of your poem it really sounds like you have gave to much and ended up being hurt? I hope that the next relatiosnhip you have will give you much more happiness.

That is a great write, but also very sad!! (((MsWizard)))!!

Every woman can relate to your poem. We give, and give and get nothing in return.

nice

As a man I would agree, with you, I never take or ask for anything in return, all I want is compleete happiness and a good solid realationship built on Honesty and trust and understanding. Nothing more than that.

Alicia you know how I feel about this. We've discussed it pretty extensivly. You know I understand.

even as a man i feel that way as of an hour and a half i threw my hands up and gave up up my relationship

Thank you for sharing so many of your words that relate to how others sometimes feel but find it difficult to express! ((((MsWizard))))

(((A))) breathing deeply...big sigh...sometimes wonder why we try

thinking we need to sit down in our jammies, with a warm drink and our slippers and bring in the new year

GuardianAngelMan~we've all given too much and received little at some time in our lives yes? Thank you for your nice words~


RedSox, I know it's sad, sometimes truth is sad. Thanks for reading sweetheart

Horsegirl, I dont think we have the monopoly on heartbreak, but it does seem to be far more prevalent in women that they give too much at times, that's for certain~

Thank you Mirror~

Ron, you are such a beloved friend~

It happens MEK, you'll be alright, as my dear old mommy likes to say, this too will pass~

You're welcome sweetpea, thank you for reading and enjoying~

I'll bring the hot chocolate darling!

I'm thinking maybe something a little stronger could be required...maybe a brandy alexander or the hot chocolate with some schnapps and whip cream- it's your choice

I say we do both *grin*

(((wiz)))
ok my dear, time for a hug...come on over here

((((((((( )))))))))

I'm thinking you're right

Excellent write MsWizard!

Love reading all the emotions your words so eloquently express.
