PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

in my presence pretend not to need me

and I shall try to follow up with such an

unobjectionable suit

call not my name when you feel crowded

even while completely alone

for I will never willingly wear any bonds of worry

(again) engraved with your personal signature

letters of entrapped distrust

I am neither flesh of your obsessive flesh

nor bone of your insecure bone

we are not of one mind

your mention of a predestined marriage of souls is

a myth

admit that you possess no happy souvenirs of my many

affections given out in the past

nor can you lay claim to even a small percentage of my

carefully guarded token of good spirits

we walk no apparent similar path

we don't even speak on the same level of communicative

language

so why should we continue to deceive each other into

believing that we do

I keep saying (silently) to myself and to you

Go ahead place yet another carefully thought out plan

to get me back on the fire of shadowy circumstances

for I have stocked the flames on my end for the very

last time

this questionable gift I seem to have in the way of

winning with words I'll use only this once for you

then, maybe only then , should you happen to spy and

read them you will hopefully at last fully understand

my unasked for predicament as well as

(I can only sit and hope) your own

for the last time, I don't return your undying declarations

of love and I never have............
