PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

In my awkward way I softly say I love you

but with my intent eyes I sadly say we're through

each hour of every passing day

I fight myself in utter dry dismay

which is not really the decided issue

what it all comes down to is what I should

and shouldn't do

forget the bitter memories of our juggled pasts

and move on unencumbered to some thing vital and excitingly new

for you can't beat nor breathe life back into a long since dead horse

like you can't alter the road in the middle of any even unexpected course

what would our faults feel like if literal love were

indeed the source

with my shoulder shouldered gently to the door I push

myself out of lust's lifeless way with all my

reluctant force...........
