The Last In Line

I try to give you your hearts desire I try to go the extra mile Because I love to see you happy I love to see you smile We make sound plans together So we achieve our dreams with ease And whatever you have asked of me Ive always given free You tell me that im a good man You say you love me so, But lately you just ignore me Like im someone you dont know You make plans with other people I used to think it was all right But now you would rather spend your time with them And leave me alone at night I know my job is hard to take And i travel oh so far I only do it for the both of us To enjoy life where we are. I feel my heart is bleeding From reading all the painful signs I thought i stood somewhere within your heart But lately im the last in line

Yeah sometimes career, friends and ambitions get in the way of love, which makes one felt leftout. U expressd that in fabulous rhyme n flow. Kudos.

A very heavy poem Carl, I don't know much of this path that makes you bleed deeply. But, know this here within these soup walls you are a good and true friend, and never will you come last in line.... Happy 2014... always~ LINDA

Whoa Carl! This is great! I love how you've developed the theme and built up to the conclusion. Very well done. I am looking forward to reading more poems from you in 2014. Have a great day and hopefully a great coming year!
