Seasons come and seasons go
with changes one by one.
Don't look for any change in me,
I am already done.
I am unreachable
if you don't like what you see.
I am unreachable.
Love me or set me free.
I give my all alone to thee
expecting love returned to me.
If it is simply not to be
than I'm unreachable.
My heart is not a piece of glass,
a fragile, hollow shell.
Yet, 'til I know he'll protect it
to any man I'll tell...
I am unreachable
if you don't like what you see.
I am unreachable.
Love me or set me free.
I give my all alone to thee
expecting love return to me.
If it is simply not to be
then I'm unreachable.

Curious
why "than" in the last lines of the longer stanzas/verses? -
-
You caught my slip up. It should have been "then".

unreachable.. fragile hearts in this time and place .. this is lovely and well put into special words.

Thanks.
Reachable...but on the right terms.

Beautiful
I just had to take a deep breath after reading that. I read this at an easy pace and sensed a stillness around your words. I like the way your words reveal a hearts desire, while at the same time holding on to your integrity of self. Your form and repetition leads me to think you have written this as lyrics to be put to music. Even if that wasn't your intention, I do think they would make for a beautiful song.
Thank you so much for this gift, my poet friend. I did enjoy it, I like it very much and feel it has a special quality...a purity about it. I will bookmark it, so that I can read it many more times.
...Alby

I let the word "Unreachable" tell me what it wanted to say.
I don't know where you are in your life or what is going on but this is what "Unreachable" said to me. Pattiboo had some good lines from a Shakespear poem. I guess I said it but in a different way. It means the world to me that you enjoyed it.

quote from Shakespeare sonnet 116
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
If we truly love someone we don't keep trying to change them into some one else.
If a person says they would love us more if .. then do they really love us?
(This doesn't apply of course, if the person has serious health or personality problems that need to be addressed.)

Thank you for this quote.
I was given the word "unreachable" as a prompt and wrote what the word said.
and I agree with what you have said.

Yes, it is a poem to encourage a friend. We all need encouragement from time to time.
