Perhaps

by UM   May 21, 2004


The trials and tribulations
of life's proclamations
wrench at my heart;
they tear me apart.

One is taken,
perhaps they were mistaken.
Or maybe they weren't;
Doesn't matter, there is still the emptiness and hurt.

Taken away again,
How could it have been?
Is it solved this time?
Or is it just another mark on a continuing time line?

Perhaps. Maybe not. I think its getting better.
Or is the thread still unraveling from the sweater?
Whatever the case may be,
It's another chapter added to the Book of Me.

    Good poem. I'm the chick that writes all love poems and only uses abcb. Well to answer your question of why....When I write it just comes out that way. I've tried writing w/out rhyme or abac, or abab but I don't like the way my poems turn out when I do that. I wont like anything that doesn't sound smooth, it's just how I roll.
