Many nights I pondered over what to say
I was debating over many days
Then it hit like a tornado in a heavy storm
Speak now or be in torment forever more
I see two people about to make the biggest decision
Who am I to interfere in it
But in my heart I know I must say what I feel
Speak now and make sure it is real
I have tremendous respect for theDARK1
He has made efforts to communicate and then some
I reached out to LilMizzChelz when I came to AP
She extended the offer to make my stay here homely
I have grown fond over this poetess since I came on board
Not realizing what the future had in store
I have been hurt terribly in my last relationship
I even have the engagement ring to show for it
Love is about honesty and communication
Along with establishing understanding with inspiration
I personally know what I want in life
Especially since I have been on this site
I have expressed my interest in LilMizzChelz
Not knowing at first her engagement to theDARK1 as well
But I did not see the relationship blossoming like it should
For there was confusion with words misconstrued
My heart does extend to this beautiful lady
And I did let her know already
I have not felt this way for anyone in a long time
But I had to say it now before I became silent
Basically, I want the couple to think about their decision
Is it something they can in the future live with
Do they have the ingredients necessary to be truly happy
For I support the honest decision if they have thought about it

~~those words you speak are more truth than not. i can only wish that many will read these words and chew them up to digest them later and realize that a relationship is work. it should be fun, but it will not be fun at all times and there must be compromising on both parties. love is great, but it takes more than love to keep two people together. there's trust, desire, inspiration, admiration and the list continues. physical attraction is great, but it should be the last thing considered when you want a lifetime with someone. i don't know much about you. i am surprised that some other poets think you are my other screen name, but there are many who knows my other screen name and know itz not so. i do admire and respect your entry letting me know your honest feelings about chelsey. i understand how someone could fall for her. i should know, i fell for her. itz just we did not communicate on a level that i feel is necessary for a successful relationship. i will not put chelsey down and wish any ill will towards her. i truly wish her the best in life for she deserves the best for her and her daughter. i just hope the next guy she falls in love with (whether itz you or not) is able to communicate with her better. my poem "DARKless" sends that message, but the author's comments lays the foundation and hope people read them as well. i appreciate your entry. again, i feel the sincerity.

This is beautiful Carl but me and Thedark1 are no longer engaged and we arent together great write though and maybe we will become something more then friends. you have always been there for me but i dont want to just jump into another relationship for that would seem wrong. but in time maybe. Great job sweetheart and know that ull always have a place in my heart.
