Hanging By a Thread

My mind has wandered off the tracks again Attempts to distract myself only succeed temporarily I think he has this plan to end us as lovers by attrition Withholding affection and slowly withering our connection I’ve tried being more friendly I’ve tried being a shoulder to cry on I’ve tried blatantly saying, “If there is something wrong just tell me.” I’ve tried ignoring him like he ignores me So logic seems to say he is over me and so I must move on But when I ask him he denies it It is maddening when he says things like “I’d love to hear your voice too but there is no time.” I am tired of twisting in the wind in this emotional entanglement Keep me or let me go The vagueness is killing me

I like your writing with this poem. You are starting to reveal your emotions. Not the flatness of eye scanning observations. (I am tired of twisting the wind in this emotional entanglement) that line is the purity and truth in writing.

Wonderful honest writing! Love needs no affirmation but it's presence. Now go out and have a beautiful day you deserve.
