The Agreement
It’ been awhile since you made “The promises”
Is that bad or good
I used to think…. this is it; it’s real and I’d smile
Then I’d think, yeah right
You said to give you the opportunity to correct it
That you wouldn’t let it be a problem
Can I believe you
I told you if I stop asking, it means I’ve given up.
Have I given up; less bitching, less complaining
Is this what you want
Would I pick one over another just to be with you
Is some better than none
I wish my head and heart would come to an agreement.
I had to really
think about this, with all of the writings of yours that I have read in mind,
an agreement,
it has a definition...
A negotiated and usually legally enforceable understanding between two or more legally competent parties, although a binding contract can (and often does) result from an agreement, an agreement typically documents the give-and-take of a negotiated settlement and a contract specifies the minimum acceptable standard of performance.
I think the main theme here is "the give-and-take".
It seems from what I have read so far, in the more "torn pieces" you have submitted,
You are always giving and someone else is doing all the taking,
Or, you are taking abuse for giving all you have to give...
I have one view on negotiating an agreement; negotiate from a position of strength...
I know this does not get to the spirit of this particular work...
be strong for you
for your head and heart
Peace

BINGO
...Dykan gets a prize!....but with that said, I'm new to this site and a lot of my stuff and or idea's so to speak, date back 4-10-15 years...I call that time "my dark days"...I was told a couple years back to open up, don't hide, speak. Since I couldn't just talk about "stuff", I write it down my way...Presto; a poem!
PS
I'm happy now....but it's hard sometimes for me to write down Fluff....however, I have a few!
good
for you
poetry, writing, it can be cathartic,
but you are an artist too...
be true to you
and true to your art...
write with the truth in mind,
fluff or not..
and it never hurts to write with a dose of "poetic licence"
sometimes lies hurt but the truth can kill
Peace

Thank you Dylan; spelled Dylan it right this time....(but I guess it really doesn't matter..."poetic licence")
