An Honest Love

An Honest Love

A Poem by Justin August
"

Too many stories, I feel, end in pure bliss. I can't offer pure bliss, but here's what I can offer.

"
I wish I could tell you that there would never be a concern
about money, And we would never have to discern
what to buy now or later, because money would be no issue.

But I can't.

I wish I could tell you that we would never know sadness, and everything we say 
would give the other happiness, like never known before that day,
and there would never be need for a single tissue.

But I can't.

I wish I could tell you that I would never, even once, make you upset,
that I would never say the wrong thing, and our vignette
would read "No one ever heard them disagree".

But I can't.
 
I wish I could tell you that every day that I lived, my heart
from you, my dear, would never grow apart,
and my love for you would be pure like a cherry blossom fresh bloomed on the tree.

And I can.

well.....

there are many good intentions in the beginning, then many relationships turn toxic because of one reason or the other. then one day the one wrecking havoc- notices that they have done nothing but torn the relationship to shreds and as long as you have in your site that you are here for the other person, and not just in a relationship for self gratification- then that is where the relationship can become a strong healthy one. good work.. thoughtful and truthful.

I love the line repetition of "i can't" and how it ended happily on "i can". This was an honest piece. "With love comes a twist and headache"-Hopsin. This was true to the name of love and I am glad that you shared this. Thank you

Words not spoken. Forever regret we shall hold. I like the set-up and the honest tone of the poetry. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
