Poem Title:
Poem
I used to think that you were my soul mate. I thought that I had known that since our first date. I used to feel special and loved, just like a queen. We never fought , never had a word or thought that was mean. I took for granted you thought I could do no wrong. Daydreaming to the radio whenever I hear a romantic song. Fantasizing that it was you, I just read about in that sultry book. Knowing that backwards was never a directional option for us to look. Crying as you slipped onto my finger the most beautiful ring, Anxiously waiting to see what tomorrow may bring. Brought us to a life-altering decision and a night full of fun. Nine months later, it brought us our amazing son. As time has gone by, it has brought us some difficult times, Some sweet as chocolate, others, sour like limes. Bonding us together as a family, sticking together like glue, Pulling our selves above the nasty, drowning slew. As the times have gone by, I have started think, "How long has it been since either has given a wink?" Realizing that we are no longer the people we used to be, My eyes are focusing on the real you that I am beginning to see. Feeling obligated to do as you say, for I don't want be lonely or scared. Resisting to the ideal of fighting back, as to the temptation of being dared. You are not the only one that has changed for better or worse, over the years. For, I have become more aware, gracefully wiping away my unheard tears. I am not going to pretend anymore, I know that I am not perfect to you Nor, you are to me. I've tried to change us both till my face has turned blue. Exhausted from the challenges that we make each other face. I still want to know that you love me and that I will always have a place. However, if things can't change and everything is still my fault, Then, don't even bother, without my combination, you will never open my vault. Doors will be closing, as new ones open, hopefully not courtrooms, for instance. If that is what is best for everyone involved, we can still love you, from a distance! Keep in mind that two very special people think you roped and hung the moon. Make a whole-hearted decision about the cards on the table, don't fold too soon. I know we both are fighters, lets hang in there for our family and decide no to quit. Different perspective, lets fight together not each other, kind of ironic, I admit.
