You and Me

You chose to shut me out
And I’ve tried to be
the best I could be

You would rather find love
somewhere else
So afraid to be loved
only by me

I have failed
My absence, my silence
It all got the best of me

I had faith and trust
you would see
But no hope is there now
For what we’re meant to be

True. You will never know
how good together
You and I
could be

This poem is very emotional. It very straight forward! I enjoy reading poems like this because sometimes I get lost reading long poems which the meaning has to be interpurtered. It speaks about a personal experience that many people in the world have experienced or may be living through now. I think it will give comfort to those who may be going through similar situations because it lets them know that they are not alone!

Monica,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
