I cannot do this. I cannot be a
pivotal factor in the course of another’s life.
I would forever carry the
repercussions as my personal responsibility,
I’d be a traitor to truths we
shared before things changed,
disturbed my balance, became
intrusive, unflinchingly persistent,
and even though I know your reactions
to be from the heart,
the chameleon in you frustrates
me, I can’t keep up these walls all the time,
I must separate myself from your
physicality, knowing I will miss you.
Now is what is, be in it, own it,
direct the course, it's your own choosing,
decide, look towards
answers, assess without emotions the means of getting there.
If you’re lucky you’ll be able tie
them with your string of dreams,
if not it will hurt, do you see the
position I now find myself in?
We can only be responsible for ourselves.
ReplyDeleteEach moment will pass, just like a storm making way for the piercing sun. Thoughts and warm greetings.

ReplyDeleteAwesome poem and well understood by this cat ... Love.
ReplyDeleteOh. If we could only run away from the voice in our heads. Sadly we must take the voice with us and let it rule our lives. It is just life and we are here to live it to face our fears and get on with it. We make it so complicated.
