We talked around the edges
For hours
Until you said
You had to go
Should have long ago
To meet someone, do something
Drink, get wrecked
Easier than talking, talking
Saying it can't work
Won't work
Can't try
Won't try
Better to run and say goodbye
Better for who?
Not for me, nor you
I get it
She broke you
And your parents before that
Refused proposal of marriage
And messy divorce
Made you sceptical
Afraid of loving
Like you have before
Laying it all out
Showing you full hand
Just to be destroyed
It won't happen
I won't be that person
But you won't let me
Show you
Prove it
So we talk, talk, talk
As I try to find the truth
In the bravado, cover-story, excuses, lies
I know you feel
Something
Maybe not love
Strong and wild like mine
But something
Worth effort
Worth the fight
We talk until there are no words left
No more reasoning
Begging
Pleading
Reassuring
Questioning
I can do
You are going
And I can't go with you
But I'll wait here
My life like
Stop-frame animation
Until you come back
Will you miss me?
Kiss me?
Honestly?
I don't know
But I'll be here
Hanging on to memories
And hope
And while you are away
I'll write, write, write
Instead of talking.

Given Up
Given Up [Poem Collaborate] A.M.C.- I feel as if we've given up. I just can't handle it. I want and need to see you, talk to you. But each time I wimp out, run and away and cry.
In My Eyes And Ears
What am I supposed to do. When all I really want is you. How am I supposed to go on. The Feelings are never gone. Can't even fight the fact. But sticking to our love pact.
Give me the strength to walk away. Give me the strength not to stay. Let me distance myself from your touch. Let me distance myself before its too much. Help me move on from you.
My Anchor
I've tried contacting you, But you ignore me like you do. Like a anchor you pull me down. Unable able to move on, I'm still around. I just need to here why from you. Was it something I said.
Hurt
Im hurting inside, Only they know why, For I can not be with the one I love, For I am living a lie...
Just Once
Just once. I'd like to see you smile. To take the time. And laugh. Just once. To put the work away. No more stress. Just relax. Just once. Can you be content. And love me. For me. Just once.
How Many?
How many times do I have to say sorry until you realize I meant it. How many times do I have to shed tears for you to realize I'm broken as you are.
Loving You Is Too Hard.
I'm trying. I'm dying. I'm crying. You're keeping. I'm weeping. Hearts leaping. We're in sync. We can't blink. We can't think. We're caught here. Just you, Dear. The pain, sheer.

I'm sure many people can relate to this. Poor communication has a lot to answer for. Great write and I like the structure ππππ
Darn it!! Well done on going up, that was really brave! It's all up to him now I guess, you've proved you want him... Now he can either stand or run, and if he runs, he's perhaps not the one for you. πππ great write though...
@RichWithey @naaviie well he's going to run by the looks of things...but I'll wait till he comes back and maybe...maybe he will miss me more than he knows he will. He's already said we can go travelling together when he comes back so he wants me on some level...πͺπ
@naaviie @RichWithey I hope so guys, I really do. I'll be waiting and I'll just have to see how we both feel in May x
@RichWithey yeah of course but he's going to be in Nepal and I can't afford to go out there. So we will talk and email but can't see each other until then. Maybe a chance before he goes but he is pretty busy visiting family before he goes π
