This rope

by JaMeS   Jul 16, 2007


Us,
two independent people,
two separate lives,
bound by two sets of emotions,
two equal shares of love

love, acting like a rope,
it ties us together,
as time passes,
we are becoming just about you,
its never me, now,
not once, am i selfish?

strands of this rope under strain,
a few snap,
we're literally growing apart now,
should, can i carry on?

snap,
another strand goes,
joining other frayed feelings,
it cant hold up,
cant hold us together,

snap,
down to the last now,
a last Saviour,
last line of hope
before we split into a memory,
two separate lives,
again independent people,

snap

    Hey, I especially liked this line.
    Is this poem about a current relationship or past one?
