Heart on the Floor.

by vintage darling   Dec 3, 2008


So effortlessly I can make believe,
just envision me, as you'd like it to be
taking back what's been said for quite some time.
Maybe I'm scared, can't help but be me

perhaps because you mean more to me,
than any other being possible.
then I see you standing there, wanting more
all I can is try, it's more than liable

everything is not as it's sold,
but the more I grow, less I know
living through so many days,
the more I see, the less I grow.

Wishing I hadn't endured reality,
when fake is the new real,
slowly diminishing, bidding farewell
to this life I thought was designed for me, but now it's too hard to even feel.

reliving moments already passed,
trying to go back and this time make them last
all those things we dreamt to be, the things we would never be
but whats gone is gone, it's in the past

    So very emotional. We seem to regularly want what we truly can't get, 5/5. Em

    I spent five years after a break up living in the past and wanting what I had lost back. Life sometimes never gives you what you want though through my years I have been very lucky with what it has given me. Your poem reminded me of the unreality I fell into and the feeling of loss and want that makes even getting up a chore to face another day, it took my caring kids to bring me back and an encounter with a female in the country I now live to change that. This poem is what I like about good poetry it is though provoking and filled with emotion and feeling excellent 5/5 Ray S
