Heart is a contradiction

Hot cup in my hand…lost in thought…again

Staring at the plastic moon in the rocking chair

Oh this life , with sweet ballads to entertain

But what good is a life with no one to share?

 

Wasting time while the world unravels

Saying the hellos and then the goodbyes

Wasting time, just chasing shadows…

Ignoring the stabbing our heart implies

 

Rocking in the chair…the tea got cold

Screaming at the silence that’s all around me

Passion is consuming. Daring. Bold…

…so sweet, but you can’t survive on candy.

I love the opening stanza
''Hot cup in my hand…lost in thought…again''
I did enjoyed this poem alot and is true, sometimes the heart contradicts itself from what it really wants.
Awesome poem

[Ana B.]

thank you for liking it :) and yeah...if we knew for shure what we want it would be so much simpler....

[Lizardo]

Indeed it would all be much simpler, But I guess thats like the trick of life right? contradicting each other to get to a real and truthful answer instaed of something that lacks of emotions

[Ana B.]

agreed....every turn is worth it in the ling shot

[Lizardo]

Wouldn't be a life lived without mistakes

Enjoyed this poem especially the last line "so sweet, but you cant survive on candy" screams the idea that for love to be more substantial it needs to have other things to support it just as a relationship needs more than just attraction. Good work

[Ana B.]

True. Love and life craves more rudimental things... Thank you very much for stopping by Niall.
