Is it you

Lovers in conflict

 

Is it you who drives me to the brink of madness with your suspiciously over active imagination that thrusts me into this perpetual purgatory.

 

Is it you who lifts me up when I have fallen by the wayside consuming my every thought with such cataclysmic insinuations.

 

Is it you that has lapsed into antiquated ideals force feeding me twaddle from a rusty spoon. I pause then ponder and in conclusion I say, of course it’s you, it’s always been you.

 

It’s truly preposterous as we argue in vain; metamorphosing into this emotional strain. From dusk to dawn this carousel we ride, another day of reckoning another day denied.

 

What we had wasn’t meant to last; we’ve come full circle, let’s not dwell in the past. We gave it our best but we’ve become insignificantly lazy, letting rumors and hearsay simply drive us crazy.

 

Now is the time to give the Devil his due, to sever the ties between me and you.

Thank you Rose, sometimes it's nice to sprinkle a little humor into tragic situations...

[SyberRose]

Yes I know what you mean..Im glad you thought it was funny too.

[Dream Weaver]

I really hate dramatic pieces and love them at the same time, I figure with humor it sort of balances it out... :)

communication is the key-when is it going to get keyless entry?
the keys have been lost again-and there is no quick copy key company when you lose communications keys-they are so hard to find
thank you much for sharing

[Dream Weaver]

Unfortunately most of us have forgotten how to communicate, which leads to failure every time... Thank you kindly for you review and input, it's much appreciated.

[Yellow Butterfly]

Lots of home truths flying off the pages of this endearing piece which I am sure many can relate too. Endless bickering and silly fights over silly things that manifest into huge things..... if only they understood one another well enough to come up for air and talk things out. Instead.....Love and Anger collide and can not take no more...... Which one gives in?

Then that dreading thought comes crashing into your mind......

Is it you ...or is it me?

Between two people.... love just isn't enough...



Sad but true - nicely penned...

[Dream Weaver]

Thank you Y.B. lots of truths and lots of heartaches, chalk another one up to lack of communication..Once again thank you, much appreciated.

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

Awesome write and I love the image and the text inserted. :) Too funny

[Chris Smith Welshpoetcs]

I've been there many a time ; )

[Christie Moses]

i did get a giggle from this but there is an underlying message well recieved. When its over, it should most definitely be over. Seems so many try to drag it out like a limp dead dishrag lol Sigh...relationships are hard enough, without trying to get sparks out of a stale thing.

[Lily Mae]

I soooo love this..lol.. it's perfect..xx

I couldn't help but smile as I was reading this excellent write with all its intensity, highly charged emotions and elements. Ironically, I thought of Dave Mason's song which you posted above. I can relate and understand this verse all too well based on my own past experiences and relationships.

You're an amazing writer. You understand the heart and soul of humanity including "relationships" with all its good, bad and ugly. I gather you've been writing and playing music forever. Do you play for yourself or do gigs?

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Positively satirical, well placed and written, great read.

[Lourisa]

The picture made me laugh :) The poem is wonderfully written and so painfully true. Well done once again.
