Never To Be

Something hanging around in my head. I hope you enjoy

You ask who am I
So carelessly as you tremble
Never an easy answer
being determined
By who you thought I should be
Even the devil cries sometimes
Sinners and Saints must all die
eventually

Pointing fingers masking your laughter
as I look in passing windows
seeing reflections of a future that can never be
Talking, in a language you can’t understand
Dark and mysteriously longing for love
but finding misery to be so comforting
Telling me you believe
believe in possibilities

Wearing your heart on your sleeve
pleading “Won’t someone save me”
But you reject me so causally
Tell me about love, Love
Tell me how it suppose to be
Oh how I wish you’d see the potential
The potential of you and me

Confidentially whispering
I require your heart, Love
Can’t you see we were never meant to be
Holding my head underwater
Asking me to breathe easy for a while
Choking on the ashes that divide you and I

But what I find  is unmistakable
You asking who am I
answering so sweetly
Even the devil cries sometimes
Sinners and Saints must all die
eventually
I am no body in your eyes
the way it’s meant to be

[Beautiful Disaster_33]

How many times do we try `n be something for someone else `n within that time of trying lose ourselves
"You ask who am I
So carelessly as you tremble
Never an easy answer
being determined
By who you thought I should be"


"I am no body in your eyes
the way it's meant to be"

Such a powerful write throughout the whole poem

Awesome write, Robert! I loved this. So sad, almost haunting, but powerfully written. what else can i say - i just love your raw emotion in every piece.


Great Write.

[Candle in the wind]

Reading this left me with an ache in my heart - it is perhaps the hardest thing to come to terms with- I am no body in your eyes
the way it's meant to be...but once that sinks in one can heal oneself though the scar remains and you move away
