It's Easier This Way

I only think of you
In the dark of the night
When I am all alone
It's easier this way

I know it's not right
Somehow it doesn't 
seem so wrong
In the quiet

When I touched
Your lips With mine
The hunger I felt
The magic was real

I won't call you
I don't want you know
It's easier to let go

I wanted more
Than one night with you
But I won't beg
My pride won't let me

You don't know 
the road I've been down
And I don't want you to

There's no room
In my crazy life
So I tell myself
It's easier this way

I should be ashamed
Begging you to touch
Me that way

My loneliness
My desperation caved in
Still my desperation remains
The magic was real

Something I never knew
Until that monent
my lips touched you

So I only think of you
In the dark of the night
When I'm all alone
It's easier this way

Beata Agustin April 26, 2026 at 11:18 PM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Eric Boddie June 29, 2020 at 2:01 PM the easy way out....is it because of doubt....for if for that one night there was no regret....you owe it to your feelings not to neglect....because when the feelings start to build up inside....unattended, they can become the reason sanity died....very inspiring write laura....but sometimes you just gotta go for it....lol
