Silhouette

Run and jump into the sea

A certain sense of irony

Because I'm the boy you grew so close too

Now the man you moan and boast too

Another name you will forget

So turn and face this silhouette

Run and jump into the ocean

You won't float far as the water's frozen

Where's your sense of loyalty?

You've torn the bonds between you and me

So throw me one more empty threat 

But be sure to face my silhouette

Run and jump into the unknown

I'll still be longing you to come home

We don't have much but surely there's still hope

You've knocked me down but I can cope

Come in darling as you're cold and wet

And join the man behind the silhouette

Thank you very much! It's all dark/bleak and grumpy, but I'm glad it's struck accord with someone X

Yes, people have a way of reducing others to a silhouette, don't they. Try giving a bit of the same back!
You poem reads really well, but was the perfect rhyming in the last verse an accident, or design?

There are only so many chances one deserves. I really enjoyed the way you wrote this "so turn and face this silhouette". After I started typing my comment I noticed your tags "b***h" LOL.... you could be talking about a female dog too I guess....hmmm...

I love this, the imagery of the silhoutte is very visable againt the fading daylight. I like the secound stanza, the last line, But be sure to face my silhouette. Its very powerful, nice write.

It's funny how we continue you to give them chance after chance and trust me they know it and use it to their advantage. Your friend in words, Pete

Agreed! the trials and tribulations of love hey? Although, these are merely words of a novice in this field, I fear the worst is ahead! Thanks for your review!

I like the location of the poem.
"Run and jump into the ocean
You won't float far as the water's frozen
Where's your sense of loyalty?"
Few will join the man who swim in the cold sea. I like the use of repetition. Gave vision to the purpose of the poem. A good ending to the excellent poetry.
