The "worst" Part of Being the Other Half

It feels like I’m losing you
that connection
it is slowly but surely
slipping beyond my grasp,

I’m scared, I don't want 
to lose the best thing in my life
I don't want to say goodbye
to the other half that makes me whole,

I would miss everything 
about you, about us
I’m not willing to let go
I’m tying an invisible rope
around us unseen and unbreakable

because what we have
doesn't have a name
cannot be explained only felt, 
with no questions asked
and no answers expected... 


6TH PLACE
In my "worst" poem ever

gosh, this looks very normal for me (well not normal for YOU but for a few poets I've read) This is not so bad, sweetie. Anyway, at least it got you a place in the top ten. WAY to go. LUv,Andrea
