Hanging

Folder: 
closet boxes 2002

I didn't make you turn away

although I made you cry

I didn't help us stay together

I couldn't see a reason why.



I always knew there was no future

for two not ever meant to be

and I let it go for far to long

but we both need to be free.



I knew that this would happen

saw it coming at top speed

our feelings only added to

by the simple act of need.



But to simply keep it hanging on

would prove it all as lost

no matter what we might have felt

i'm not ready for that cost.

I really like this poem. And at times this is what I feel about the situation i'm in with my boyfriend. Sometimes I don't know if I really want to hang on. Great job.
