Charlottes Web

With animosity I endure each pain
Read each word as they describe disdain
Do not compare or look for blame
Distill yet comforts release the gain 
The outer world always preaches 
while villains they reign like leaches
Do not give solace or even fame
Realize the love that comes from your name
Though long placed aside inside it stayed
Though only through words love was made

I recognize my loss by absence named
Yet I returned remembering our game
Time has past and it’s my still my move
I pause to think how to enter the groove
I cannot blame cold shoulders for my desertion
I still after time I held on to my devotion
And try to caress with words that charm
I try to take away the alerts and harm
And reach for times to reminisce 
Use you as the tool my Muse gives bliss

You replace the widowers loss
As well as take place 
of the Ex’s I’ve crossed 
But in this outer world you remain
At least I hope that to regain
I don’t know what we are
Yet I know not insane
I could be your doll you be my game
And still resolve our lonely pain
While being one another's eternal flame

Living on the edge of destruction with this person whom you think is desirable but playing a game with you. I don't think love has a place in it for games only open, honest communication. I enjoyed reading it today. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
