Likewise

Likewise

I’ll just stay,
But I don’t want to crack in your embrace. – hate to see your faith in me misplaced.
As I see the tears well in your gaze.

I can’t face,
This feeling that you’ll just replace – me and all the memories that we’ve made.
Guess I should have known that I’m a phase.

You can’t wait,
To ease your back from all the weight – to punish me for the habits you hate.
Listing all the reasons it this way.

You have changed,
I wish I could have been there from the start – wish I Β could have addressed you at the heart.
But I shut the door and you fell apart.

It’s too late.
Just go and forget the picture of my face – Let I know now - I need my cage.
I hope that you’ll just leave me to waste away.

Between the distractions and confusions.
The setbacks and diffusions – in my mind – through the illusion.
I’m sorry.
That I didn’t see you.

Why thank you Marion. This one was written though a time. I'm glad at least you enjoyed the read. This one I can confirm was written from my core... again thank you so so much.

My goodness Max, the sadness weighted through this write forces the reader to feel Β that lingering remorse you so dutifully penned here. It is in falling that we learn about who we are in the minds of others. It doesn’t always reflect the person we whole heartedly wish we could be. And it is in our losses that we discover what true value means. I felt that all here in this emotional write. So very well penned x

Hi Gwen. Sorry I missed your comment. Yes this one was a very emotional write. To be honest it came at a time that my mind was telling myself my heart didn't like to hear. If that makes any sense. The heart always wins one way or another. I can say I am in a much happier place now. Thank you once again for your kind comment. A comment on this one was greatly appreciated. Thanks Gwen, I hope you are doing well my friend.
