We have to go our separate ways
\But Why?\
The future holds nothing for us
\No future?
It cannot be foreseen…\
It will only hurt worse if we wait
\But
together we have so much
....fun\
I am sorry
\I will accept it, but do not understand
do not agree
I will not beg, though I am desperate
with an ache so fierce, it seems visible
to the naked eye
I will answer your call when you are hurting
because I too am in pain, though you will not see it
I will be here when you miss me so much
that the ache
in you
is unbearable
...as it is in me
The phone is in flames from my gaze
willing it to ring, with every ounce of energy
that is my existence
I will savor the moments
we share
to slowly wean off of each other
if you allow it\
Thank you...
for the promised comfort
\for you....because I am not ready to let go,
though I will not show it..\

Seems sad...I'm sorry to see your pain written out of your soul.You feel like it doesn't have to be this way..I guess it don't but it does..So you're just taking all the pain coming from this situation..You want him to call but will never tell, I've went through something similar in my past.You never know you two might get together again but if never then the pain is going to stop you hang on..Nice poem..

This is an amazing read. I felt the ache alongside you and im glad you took time into the reliving the emotion. I'm so sorry you feel this way. If you both care as much as you seem to for one another, it will work itself out eventually. As hard as it seems to be patient, it is indeed something that is worth trying to accomplish with potential love. Good things come to those who wait, and while everything happens for a reason. You will nevertheless come out of this experience stronger. however it works out. You have such a beautiful soul, and this deep side of you shows in this piece. In this write you have impressed me with more than just your wise and indepth vocabulary. In this piece, you stand firm in your emotions behind it. Your poem in that essence comes alive in me. And that is exactly what I want feel when I read your poem.
Amazing job. The indentation, and spacing is brilliant, and dramatizes the longing you feel with the long pauses.
Very well written.
Good luck in our contest! And keep up the amazing work.
Take care,
