Fade

Alone in enmity,

Fading capriciously,

Drowning in a sea

Of my insecurities.

I sit and stare

At my life’s despair,

And wonder where

It all went wrong.

Forced to suffer through

The pain and suffering to

Be led hypnotically

By one who noticed me

Should I wait

And hold back from Cait

Or should I liberate

This thing that seems so strong

Questioning my desire

I maintain it holds much fiercer fire

Than all the love I find in her

Confusions lay  

My time will decay

Her love will not stay

The eyes slip away

But what do they find

Does he match me

See what I see

How can that be

Most men are blind

Who says I’m not

I lie a lot

Leave me to rot

And fade to my mind

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Written in the car on the way to Indiana.  I had the first few lines stuck in my head for like a week but I didn't know how to finish it.  I wish the rest of it could have been like the first of it.  I love you!

This poem is so well done...I really like it..smiling..I think its probably normal to have an instant thought in regard to the first few lines and then struggle with expressing the true meaning of it..altho I did not realize this until u commented on the difficulty to finish...you are very talented
