Notes About The Poem

Love is so complicated.

Love On One Side No Love On The Other

How I wished that a road to your heart
Hadn't come to a dead end 
You say you love me
Or do you just pretend

There's no feeling in your kiss
No warmth in your smile
You never tell me that I was missed

You turn your back on me in bed
Never listen any more
And you mess around with my head

I never know if I'm coming or going
If the sun shines or it rains
And there's no way of showing

I feel trapped choked and beyond control
A little lost child left out in the snow
You not only took my heart but you also stole my soul

I wish I'd never met you
But I can't find the strength or will to go
Chained and shackled to

Only you have the key
To unlock me
And set me free.

Love is never simple, rarely do we meet that perfect person and rarely are there no issues.. I think I mentioned it to your before, human ego and how we think differently always effect a relationship.. I think being calm, open minded and understanding is very important, but it is difficult being with someone who is not like that...

So true my friend listening is also important, and good conversation skills. I have always thought, you need to be good friends First, then build upon it. Thank you take care. Pete.
