I Thought I Knew

I thought I knew this one
This one with whom I share a life
A life envied by most standards of society
And of society I question these things
These things which are senseless
Senselessly arousing my anger
Anger taunts the soul
The soul that longs to understand
Understanding is the key to it all
But it all fades before my eyes
As my eyes are not yet ready to see
To seas of sadness I turn
And so I turn to this one
This one I thought I knew
And I knew the pain of another kind
Another kind of love far too close to touch
So to this touch I mask my disappointment
Disappointed in this one I thought I knew

Harry Horsman Date: 3/28/2019 5:25:00 PM Wow, the sentiment is so deep here, your poetry certainly does bring out the way it was. Love this Chris....
Paul Callus Date: 3/28/2019 5:20:00 PM I can feel pain and disappointment in your words, Chris. This could well be fiction, but having read your book, I would be tempted to guess otherwise! Warm regards // paul
Andrea Dietrich Date: 3/26/2019 6:33:00 PM we can feel the pain here. It sounds like you were betrayed. I know I have seen this style of poetry before where the last word of each line reflects at the beginning of the next line. Does that form have a name? Great job, Chris.
Daniel Turner Date: 3/25/2019 1:09:00 PM Do we ever really know anyone? Emotions certainly distort our perception. We only know what others want us to know and usually only see what they want us to see. A very thought provoking write, Chris:)
Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 3/25/2019 1:20:00 AM - A touching writing, Chris - And you're right: "Understanding is the key to it all" .... without this key everything becomes difficult - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

Michael Tor Date: 3/24/2019 4:48:00 PM So often we think we know someone and trust and sadly we end up disappointed. I felt for the writer. Very well written.
Vijay Pandit Date: 3/24/2019 4:17:00 PM I liked the way you linked your lines..and connected emotions of sadness..that we all recall from time to time. An emotive write, Chris.
