REBOUND LOVE

I know they still feel something to each other. And I'm just waiting for my guy to tell me that.

 

 

***

 

I know this is coming

I am just waiting for a sign

All I need is your honesty

I am here to hear you

I promise not to cry

 

I had prepared for this

Even from the start

And now I am ready

Ready to give things up

 

I am ready

If she's still on your mind

I am ready

If it's still her that you want

I am ready

If it's still her that you love

 

After all

I was just a rebound

A second choice when

She fell out of love

 

I made you fall

And there I was

Catching you

 

I truly love you

I know I have given enough

I have made you happy

and shared with you everything that i got

 

And if it's freedom that you want

I am more more than willing to give you

All and all that

 

Let me just hug you for the last time

And kiss your lips gently

 

I was glad that you had been mine

Even for just a short period of time

 

I know this would hurt

But not for a long time

I just have to get used to it

And so I guess this is goodbye.

This would make a terrific song... The longing, the hurt, the pain, the sadness of knowing someone has made the mistake of falling for someone that has used you as a rebound.. This is one of your better pieces

[SpokenWord]

This poem is so forgiving so accepting that I have to wonder where is the anger behind what is happening? I have to imagine it is there laying in wait behind eyes that refuse to cry. I know we want the best for our love but being a rebound substitute has to hurt. Great write, I did enjoy it thou I wonder wheres the anger?

[Deactivated_BurningDemo..]

[KAREN]

Excellent write! Feel the pain in this one too!

[E.H. Monroe]

I see what you are trying to hit.
I see the words, just missing the heart.
The goodbye doesn't feel real. Feels like the poem is here just to give you the sense of finish.

Some s**t like that should enduce tragic feelings, pain that drips onto the paper like acid.

You gotta light this on fire, Fierce. Live up to the name

Great start, but I just don't think you're done
