Unhappily Ever After


….be still, be quiet, 
      deafening noise in the silence…

….head spinning, heart racing
      anxiety is restlessly pacing…

….I’m confused, I’m conflicted
      in love, I’ve been convicted…

….no hurt, no pain
      for you I show refrain…

….too late, for debate
     my words—hesitate, inevitable
     fate…

….sinking fear, falling tear
      to never have you near…

….just you and me
      never meant to be…

…no joy, no laughter
     unhappily ever after…

May the shadows of your current situation swiftly retreat, to dawn’s warm light, so sweet. Sending you strength and resolve, wrapped in hope and courage, neat. Blessing my dear

There are many fishes in the sea. Poem is excellent. First meetings are trial and possibly error moments in life.

I too keep my circle small. I wish you the best of luck in your romantic endeavors. There are still a few roses scattered amongst the wretched garden!
