A letter unsent

We began
As lies merged with truths
I know not whether we
Were a truth
With a minority basis of a lie
Or a lie
With a minority basis of a truth.
But I find these words perched
Regardless of their origin.
I am sorry.
Sorry that we drift
Then merge
Only to separate once more
With no solid link.
Once the money disperses
So does the communication.
And unquestionably
No healthy communication
Can be based on such
Such indefinite a premise.
Therefore unless as alternative is forged
Smoke signals or war cries or ESP
Dissolution could be inevitable
But I pray not.
Yet I struggle to alter the course.
Suggest for us a change
And I will comply
Or at least try.
For a loss
Of such magnitude
Would be intolerable.
So speak
I'll listen
Be silent
I'll understand
But regret eternally
The way we allowed one another
To remain apart.
September brings about a change
Of location
Destination
Preceding that I hope
To convey emotion
That is neither diluted nor forced
Yet what that emotion may be
Remains unclear
As although over ten months have passed since
Some truths were merged with lies
I can apply no label
To this convoluted pattern of events
Fondness is too mild a statement
Infatuation far too strong
But somewhere in the middle lies
Some comfortable
Yet unstable
Bond.
If you wish for the bond to strengthen
Say so
If not
Say so.
I ask that you think well of me
As I do of you.
I will always care for you.

    look at my poem.

    I can't remember reading this?
    Unless I did, forgot and it was sub concious?
    That's just freaky.

      My prose is a bit convoluted in its approach sometimes, but I just write in the manner I feel at the time. When writing this I was crying, unable to get out any more than a few words at once vocally, so I tried to replicate that. Thankyou for wishing me luck! xx

    I think this is a great write and very heartfelt . I know what its like to have lie's merged with truths and to drift away from the one you care so much about . Its never an easy thing to get through but eventually you'll find a way and come out on top and stronger than before . Great job writing this and getting your feelings across .
