limbo

I can only endure God's uncertainty

 and for that I got lost in too many lines

Being in the dark doesn't scare me

 if I'm the only one who turn off the lights

I am the one who turned off the glow of the divines

You don't cause me a sunny* day 

 just because you made me to listen Doris Day.

You can't turn the "perhapses" in my head into yeses 

 by asking me to dance.

I sleep in your arms wondering if you will leave me tomorrow

I stay close to the door so I can escape at any moment

You were bragging about turning winter into summer

It was just a climate crisis, honey

Every time I kissed you my lips would split 

 and we thought it was passion

Is red the color of love or blood?

When I told you I hated the movie The Notebook

 you should have known I couldn't stand these fights

You made me believe in the dream that an empty lot 

 would become a mansion

While carrying the bricks, you left me there

 and went to the nearest broken heart

I can turn this into a real poem but

 yours is just Conceptual Art.

Author's Note

The Notebook is a toxic movie, let's face it.
Doris Day - Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps

A heartfelt poem that reads raw and breaths pain. Pain is the twin sister of love infact they are conjoined twins. A Janus face if you would. Your poem presents this idea well that in this universe of ballance there can not be one without an equal amount of the other. Love without hate would not be love it would be emotionless. Loved the poem

I like the lines "Being in the dark doesn't scare me
if I'm the only one who turn off the lights." ...says the 56 year old almost growed up that sleeps with a night light! 😃
I too sleep nearest the door, but think while I do that any mad axeman come through the window! 😃
No matter how artlike, most relationships are conceptual, sadly.

It was never meant to be about real light but I'm glad to know :D
you're absolutely right when you say relationships are mostly like that I guess. I appreciate you reading and taking the time to comment

In my mind at least, limbo is a sad and sorry place to find oneself lost or stuck in .. I have never seen the movie you refer to .. but once had a thing about Doris Day .. but then didn't we all, back in the day .. Neville

doris day is a nostalgic singer for my age, the movie is a classic love movie that young people love, but in the movie there is mostly a couple fighting and this is called passion (at least that's what I understood from the movie, when I first watched it I said IS THIS THE MOVIE EVERYONE LOVES?)
let me also leave one of the most popular lines of the movie
"Well that's what we do! We fight! You tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a b***h, and I tell you when you're being a pain in the a*s! Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. They have like a two-second rebound rate and your back doing the next pain in the a*s thing."

also there were a lot of The Notebook movie metaphors in the 200 poems I used to write but then burned because I associated the person I used to like with me before watching the movie, then I must have been disappointed when I watched the movie, it was strange but definitely a self-fulfilling prophecy.

thank you for reading and caring enough to comment!

I think under the circumstances, you are more than welcome .. Neville

It's a really poignant poem,
Maybe I should learn to write from the depth of the heart like this, instead of composing

The Notebook, I have the movie on my mind, but I haven't watched it,
But soon I will, with my pillow

[Beren Ongur]

please don't watch that movie, ive seen your poems you might like it.
thank you for caring and paying attention enough to read and comment!
