One Sided

by Chelsey   Jan 30, 2013


There's no beauty in one sided love...
it's not even love.

It's this game where you do or say something
charming that cracks my words, stumbles my
steps, and triggers my tears. I wrestle with feelings
that drop kick my stomach when you say hello.
Truth be known, I hate every minute of it.

Yet, I can't even be mad at you. Being yourself
should not invoke my anger, but I tell you what does,
my inability to control these feelings. My responses
always surrendering to what you say.

Take me.
Have me.
Use me.

It doesn't matter, because in the end I know I'm
satisfied with one night with you and a poem
that seals the memories.

It shouldn't be that way.
No.

I should have the strength to ignore this.
I should have the fight to battle you off.
I should deny every thought that redeems you.

Your irresistibility draws me into its cave and
I'm alone here. Waiting for you.
If not to keep me affectionately warm,
than to at least build a fire.

    Oh this one I can so relate to and I truly mean that... fell in love with someone who didn't feel the same, it broke my heart, yet I didn't want to give them up cause they were my best friend too...

    Love it... very well penned Chelz

    Perfect. Actually, more than PERFECT.

    I just love how you didn't go so descriptive and was satisfied with short to medium lines. This gave power to your words, for such messages need such pace!

    I think that this is the best piece I've read from you so far. It's full of miscellaneous emotions, and the format is spectacular. Just the kind of pieces that gets my full attention.

    I just can't say more. I hope this WINS :)

    Oh, this is good...actually it is brilliant...you really penned the feeling of loving someone who doesn't love you back...and how you know you should just forget them and not clinging to something you'll never receive but you just can't let go.

    It is brilliant...your way with words and that tone you have when you just have to pen those thoughts, like they are scrambled and running onto the page a hundred words a second...

    :)
