Eileen Manassian Poet Acrostic

Notes About The Poem

Unwanted

U nable to understand what more I could have done
N othing holding back, I gave all to make us one
W ith every breath I whispered, "My love is true."
A ll I gave, and all I asked for was YOU
N ow I know, you just took me for a fool
T ook my heart, my soul; I was just...a tool
E very day I wonder why by your face I'm haunted
D oubtless it's because, I want so to be wanted!!!

Carrie Richards November 7, 2015 at 10:03 AM This is a difficult form, and you were able to express so well the heartbreak of someone who feels unwanted, Eileen! Well done!! Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:28 AM Thank you for your kind visit, Carrie. It is much appreciated, dear.

Kp Nunez November 7, 2015 at 9:03 AM A beautiful and smooth flow from one line to the next. Had there not been a space after the first letter, I wouldn't have noticed the form as acrostic. Congrats, Eileen. Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:45 AM Thank you, dear. I'm so glad that you liked it. Somehow I feel the need to do that. I don't know why. :) Maybe I will refrain from doing it next time. Hugs

Demetrios Trifiatis November 7, 2015 at 8:19 AM An arrow of poetry heading towards an indifferent heart is a wasted arrow! When one gives his/her all and gets nothing in return then, not even a superb poem as this one is able to change the course of events! A seven for poetic expression and content, dear Eileen! Good luck! Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:47 AM You are so correct in what you say, dear poet. Nothing can arouse love if it is not existent in the heart. I'm glad I could write for this contest. Thanks so much for your visit. Blessings.

Richard Lamoureux November 7, 2015 at 7:21 AM Sadly some people lack the capacity to fully give of themselves. You have expressed eloquently how that feels. Congratulations on your win. Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:48 AM Thanks ever so much, Richard. Your work was superb, and I really thought that I'd see it there at the top. Hugs to you, dear.

Lin Lane November 6, 2015 at 4:51 PM All so true, Eileen...some of us are givers.. and some are takers. This is wonderful Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:54 AM Yes, dear. I know all about being a giver. Not easy to live that way....but I don't know any other way to live. Thanks for the visit, dear.

Jan Allison November 6, 2015 at 4:49 PM Think many of us can relate to this Eileen:-( hugs Jan xx Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:55 AM Yes, dear. I'm glad I could write for the contest and do well. It isn't an easy topic to write on. Hope all is well with you. Hugs

Tim Smith November 6, 2015 at 4:12 PM Lovely acrostic Eileen. I have had these thoughts. Eileen Manassian November 7, 2015 at 10:56 AM I'm so sorry that you have, Tim. To love and be loved in return is a blessing. Love is hardly ever 100% reciprocal. It has degrees and levels...Thank you for your visit.
