JD - Hello Poetry

Curled up in your arms,
with my hand on you heart.
I fall asleep and dream!
But when I awake,
I realise it's only a dream.
Alone in bed I am!

We can dream the most beautiful dreams but reality is often very different.

War

There is a war happening
Which side is the right/wrong?
How do I stop the war
Before my head explodes!

for the longest part

for the longest part of my life
my mother said she would be "better off dead"
for the longest part of my life
i had to hear, "if you dont do what i say i might as well be dead"
for the longest part of my life
i heard "you will miss me when I'm dead"
for the longest part of my life
i was blackmailed, emotionally.

One cannot make a person want to live.
One cannot make a person except what they have done.
One cannot take the blame, if you are only a little child.

my earliest memory of "keeping things safe" by agreeing to mum ultimatums...I was maybe around 6.

Honesty

I bared my heart and soul to you and you embraced my honesty.

You said it's a quality you love
but was not ready for the words you heard.

Everyone wants honesty but sometimes they cannot handle the truth.

For you

For you, I will travel the galaxy.
For you, I will swim the ocean.
For you, I will break every rule.
For you, I’m nothing but a friend.

This was back in 2021, now 2023.. it is still the same story :( Always picking the wrong one!!

Fishing rod

You reel me in, pluck me out of waters,
see how I struggle for air.
The triumph is written on your face,
then with force, back in the water I go.

I circle slowly, just to be sure
then I swim for my life,
It is too late, as I'm still hooked
Again, you slowly reel me back in.

Invisible fishing rods is how some people keep us in their lives. Sometimes they let us go and sometimes they just continue to play the same games of catch and release.

Distance

Your eyes don't want to see me
Your arms can't hold me tight
Your lips won't kiss me

Was it me who drifted away?
Was it you who moved on?
Was it just time and came between us?

Sadly, we drift apart from loved ones.
