The Things We Do For Love






I believe I bobbled

several passes

passed along at parties,

probably,
but, hell -

the things we do

for love

or for some semblance,

for the chance

to feel something

(anything).

How alone is desolate,

is the sound of one more man

pretending to be skewered

when one more woman

turns him away -

but, finally,

after too many years,

feeling just a little relieved?

 

I believe that I became

(along the line)

more able to believe -

I know your skin

will trust me,

as I know

tomorrow is a promise

we must ever keep.

    Why is everyone entering depressing stuff? lol. I mean, seriously now, I'm all for the combersome dark poetry, but come on... aren't any of you HAPPY for Christ's sake?

    Okay, now that that little tantrum is out of the way, I'll begrudgingly admit I liked this depressing little snippet (you see, I'm trying to be all light and positive these days, but you're making it damn hard). Damn you.

    Yeah.

    So there.

    Well written and thought provoking raw reality within " the chance to feel something,anything" for without being touched we are as lonely as the lighthouse that warns sailors not to crash into the nearby rocks,shining a light as a beam of hope to illuminate yet isolated within it...

    A perfect ending. A perfect HAPPY ending. Beautifully done, Scribe. Good luck in Nicole & Rob's contest, my Friend. Wanda
