SummerBreezeA Poem by Adrian Frederick AdamA heart broken summerSoul searchin’. Heart’s poundin’. My self tirin’, because of too much independence. Just be nice, and pray thrice, to the lord, That’s a luxury that I can afford to lose, cause I never once been religious. That could’ve changed, if there was a history between us. But no, an interaction with another player, Had me fallen, bruised up, left me down all to suffer. Oh brother, I felt so betrayed. Now so lost, off lane,
walking back astray. dishonored. Like our
friendship never meant a thing. as if nothing
happened or nothing worth remembering. Sting! Like a Bee, which I
thought meant honey-sweet. But life called, laid the
truth, told me to retreat. Retract all the things that
I’ve done for her. Like, saying no to what
could’ve been our happy ever after. But being me, I told life
that I would never listen. Was my mistake, now I’m a
captive to a self-made prison. Conviction to a future life
full of fiction. No one to blame but my own,
cause of self-infliction. Self-destruction. Never been
myself ever since. Look for distractions. I
have to forget, have to be convinced There is more to life than
the immortality " of love A situation d’rather be
above. But now, I’m trying hard to
pick myself back up. Subtle-ly just trying to
move on. Doing everything I can from
getting shut. Why can’t we just get back
along? Sitting, remembering where
we once were. Regretting everything, how
could life be such a blur? Recurring, the chats we had,
all those conversations ‘fy (if I) make you laugh,
‘nother reason for a celebration. All the hatin’ on these
memories, they’re killing me. How could this be? This
adversity gained victory. So I asked my friend “zis
(is this) how it feels to lose some one?” He said “you got easy. You
never were together, son.” He added “love is harder
than you have conceived. So much worse, so much
painful than you have perceived. That is love and life, kinda
just sorta happen” I said “what” he said “I’ll
tell you, and it all began when… After twice the half of six, I thought I knew her, I
thought that she’d never get sick of this Relationship, but as we get
closer to the seventh She changed suddenly, makin’
me wanna break-even. Disbelieve in the things we
said to each other. Contradiction. Telling a lie
after another. Disaster, that’s what our
something-ship is oughtta be. A Stranger " that is how she seems and feel to me now. See my friend I wanna help
her cause I’m really sorry But how can you help someone
who only does is disagree?” And so I’ve learned that
what happened to me could’ve gotten worse. Still not as happy, living
life with such a curse. This verse is almost done,
it’s almost through the end. But I gotta tell you a
lesson that I can recommend. Is when you fall down, you
can only come back up again,
And how you will ascend is
where your life will all depend. © 2016 Adrian Frederick Adam |
