What A Mess We Have Made

Relationships can be messy.

Your life is a mess
So you grab the broom
To sweep away stress
From room to room
The stress remains
So you try another way
Dusting window panes
Til they are shining Away
The stress still lingers
So I get some fresh air
While twirling my fingers
Whispering “life isn’t fair”
Is there more to life
Or am I stuck here for good
I’d make a great wife
I know that I would
The future is near
So figure s**t out
Go grab a beer
You’re too old to pout
You have to stay strong
It’ll all be okay
Admit when you’re wrong
Or just walk away
Don’t act like you’re fine
When really you’re not
You’re supposed to be mine
You’re all I’ve got
The pain of missing you
Tears me apart
I know you feel it too
The hole in your heart
Let’s fill it then
That big empty hole
Just tell me when
I can heal your soul
But what about mine
My soul aches as well
I just need a sign
Or the ding of a bell
Anything will do
Just stay here please
See me begging you
Down on my knees?
Help me untangle this mess
Before it’s too late
This is the final test
I can no longer wait.

Well done! I'm jealous of your skill here.

Oooh... I can feel the pain and frustration as I read down the stanzas. Nothing will make you feel more special than being in a relationship, but at the same time nothing will have the power to get you down more. Everyone has to go through that one gruelling breakup that makes them stronger. It can either break you or reignite love’s spark (if forgiveness is mutual)! Great share … :-)

can't wait no longer indeed. I like the use of a house and cleaning for describing the removal of stress. Nice poem.

it's really tough to wait while others figure things out and our life is put on hold...
sooner or later we just have to get out, and start over.
