Still waiting till you feel it's okay
to pick my call/talk to me,
Time is the key,  but i can't wait at all.
Let us feel the infinite, endless hour of talk.
No doubt, i'm a human, i may have erred,
Be angry with me its okay,
just don't ignore me like a rock.
find it in your heart to forgive me.

Love is but a rose,
Beautiful for a moment. then wilted in the next.

Love comes like lightning,
then leaves just as quick.

Love is reachable,
yet seems so out of reach.

Love is like the ultimate goal,
that can never be substantial.

Love is obscene.
Happy ( early ) Valentines Day!

The simple whisper of the word "commitment"
can make men and women run in an instant
without one look back at the broken pieces they've left,
you were no different and so my heart became your theft.

You repeatedly vociferate that you're not ready to settle down; not ready to grow up,
but in my heart I know you're lying to my face close up.
I know you'd settle if you found the ideal inamorata tomorrow,
but I'll never be "the one" for you so I will leave now and drown in sorrow.

I would write my poetry every single day,
To be trending
Not to be trending
It couldn't matter either way,
I'd write it because it is what I love
To do. Poetry isn't a game for popularity
Points, it is a form of art, and even  if it
"Isn't cool with you," I will still just do my best
To write my honest feelings through and through.
Probably an instant failure. I'll just trash it (as a private poem) Sorry to waste your space, guys.

I left you all alone
you promised, baby you promised
That we would keep this relationship
I wanted to defend this beautiful land
I nearly sacrificed my life for a command
But I'm back

Back in the same home
Same phone
Yet the frames are left unknown
Who's this man in this picture
And why the **** is there a child in the picture?
Who is there to blame
Everything isn't left the same
I used to know everything about you
Now I question if you still have the same last name?
I'm not sure about what your life has become
or if you even remember me
But I'm back.

I see you and your new man walk through the door
I swear, I don't think your eyes could of grown some more
The shock and terror in your face
Never would you of thought that you'd see me again
A child walks through the door
You broke our promise
"I thought that you were dead"
Excuses come in the race
I've been calling for the past month
Without any response
But I'm back
Just a little poem in the perspective of a Soldier that comes back after years of protecting his country just to realize that his girlfriend broke their commitment.

They say experience is the best teacher.

I am now selfish.
I am now irrational.
I am now skeptical.

Most importantly,
I am now someone who cannot commit.

You have taught me well, Darling.
Congratulations.
You have taught me well.

it's okay really,
it's okay that you can't commit
it's okay that it's been awhile since somebody wanted me
and it's okay if you decide you don't want to save me from these waves of loneliness that seem to have crashed over my head.
it's okay if you don't like to swim
I'll tell you that I'm easy, that it's okay if you don't want to kiss me goodbye, or hold my hand,
that I don't want you to.
and I'll tell myself it's okay to lie.
it's okay if you don't want to drink a glass of the sad songs  my broken heart will pour out for you.
it's okay.
it's okay.
it's okay really,
I'm not broken, just lonely.
I'm sorry I haven't been active lately loves, a lot has been happening.

Back in the day,
there were no cellphones,
so when people made plans
they did not confirm them


Can you imagine that?
Being completely dependent on the fact that someone is showing up

Looking for them in the crowds

Praying nothing has happened to them,
Worrying

You can't communicate with them in any way.

What you can and should do is:

have faith in them; trust them

They should know: this trust once torn, cannot be stitched
and if this is not motive enough for them to come
then nothing is
