The 'I Wish' poem....

Sitting down to type, I already hate what is about to leap from my fingers.
I never wanted to write the ' My heart is tearing apart' poem.
        I wish I were writing the 'Dancing in my darkened dorm' poem....
        or the 'Laughing so hard we cry with glee' poem.
Softly my hands dance over the key board spelling out the tragic maybes of a great love.
        I miss the 'Passionate words spoken by a single photograph' poems....
        and the 'Hands entwined in the wooden church pew' poems.
Now we seem stuck, glued tight, to the endless fights and bickering of petty minded peoples.
Someday, you shall be a man and I shall be a woman;
only then will we grow up enough to let selfish love go and embrace each other.
In all honesty,
        I cannot remember the 'Rare rose red blush on your cheek' poems
        or the 'Whisperings of sweet nothings into the velvet night' poems.
Did we really live those nights or were they some angelic form of heaven's hallucination?
Especially now, that you see the beginning of the end, my chest compresses in on itself.
        I need the 'Solid silver circle of promises' poem,...
        I live for the 'Hearing our song just before your lips meet mine' poems.
When I think love, I see you.
When I think grief, I see where we might end up.
When I think heartache, I see the last time we fought.
When I think tomorrow, I think of you....
I never want to recall the half faded memories of what could have been.
All I want to live is the....
        'Listening to your heart quietly beat while you sleep' poem.

Author notes

To my greatest love. If it confuses you, all i can say is that it confuses me too. I wish you could see the jumble of thoughts swirling in my head.

But I hope that what you do take away is that I LOVE you through it all.

    Im not that educated enough to know how this is a poem, i cant really feal the flow. But thats not important

    Whats important is what you said which was incredible. I understand what you mean, about writing sad poems. If you look at my work you will see (i have not the seemless flow as you) but my work is pretty depressing.


    Nice write I enjoyed it

    Brilliant!

    Initial instinct is this is 'so creative.' I think every romantic heart is going to bleed with you on this one. Well written and well conceived. Worth two read and three applauding bunnies.
