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.

The comic strip made me laugh, I love it. The poem was sad but true. When there is no way to reconcile and both are at a wits end.. enough is enough. Is up to the lovers to decide when they have completely given up or be stuck in a perpetual cycle of abuse and negativity.

Woah!
An intense poem lovely...one that shakes the heart of those who in a similar situation or who have tasted love and know what it is to fall apart!
Such emotion in this!
Great piece

Very emotive write, I felt every word. Excellent poem, would not expect nothing but pure honest reality from you. That's what makes you, you. xoxo

LOL! at the picture! classic! XD
and the poem was so true and to the point! nicely done. i think its something that we just all have to live with. if we don't agree, we have to be able to agree that we disagree and always will. if we don't we will all live in eternal arguments and thats not fun.... at least not for me. i guess some people find it fun.... but those are the kind of people i push away from my life.... anyway! fantastic poem! great concept!

ahhhh the blame game when players are no longer on the same team...i know the experience well - we're both losers wanting to free ourselves of the credit or debt of ending a stagnant and destructive relationship - inspiration drawn from the dark side of love....poignant and fierce as you are Weaver of Dreams with your battle axe :)
