Out Here on my Own

Out Here on my Own

A Poem by butterfly

Nobody knows the rules anymore
I feel humanity is truly lost at the core
The earth is too hot
we uncouple sex from love
Reddit and Quora says the girl should wait but allows the man to behave any way
it was truly a confusing day
he said i was a dream come true
he says he is happy I am in his life
I didn't know what to reply
he is  still tied to the soon to be ex wife
plus i am half Asian I was never around such sweet lines in my young life
its not in me to be so emotional.
I appreciate the waves he brings though commotional
meanwhile on his way to me the son called
i realized we have known each other for years i don't know the son at all
its out of my control I tell him its okay
but earlier in the day he ate onions and garlic on his subway
said he doesn't think I would want to kiss him
He tells me after a few texts
He is on his way to me
Yet his son called for help
he had to drive past my house back out
Why couldn't he come after
I didn't ask him
I feel our connection is now weird
I try to leave
He gets sad starts to cry with emoji
He says I am the best thing
Yet why cant he treat me the best
i don't know i guess we just aren't blessed
he told me why am i not sad
am i not important
its like my saying ok is an easy thing to say
I told him i am sad but its not in my control
your son's ankle broke
i cant tell him not to go
then he texts me later on
he f*****g misses me so
i text him back at ten if he is sleeping
he tells me yes and no
then he will try to sleep princess good night baby
earlier he said maybe he could come by Wednesday
i said why don't we just do Friday when we have more time
he asked me did i make plans with another guy
now because of his yes and no i am wondering was he with her or is he alone
how am i to know
what does it matter
our relationship is whatever
there is no trust
i told him i need to feel his love
he told me he is sorry he doesn't feel it
our passion is love
he feels love from me
its so hard to see
please no mind games
release me from this chain
or stay but  make me an important part of your day
but then i wonder would i do the same
we are lost
humans walking in a fog
we don't know the rules
i don't know about love or life
i learn each time i fly
when i hear from you
i guess my lonely heart swoons
i realize in the end it doesn't even matter
i just cant stay away from you
so i guess our sex isn't uncoupled from love
yet nothing makes sense
please Lord transform us in to angels from above
i don't want diamond ring
i don't want broken vows
i just want a love to last beyond now
i don't know how
i feel stuck with you
with or without you i lose
he said before he is amazed i didn't block him
i am amazed myself
i told him i was i was seeing someone else
oh us humans need help
At least I need a transformation of this spell
I need love and I need love to love me well
Its out of my control
I block him on the phone
I cant block him from my soul
this too feels out of control
without or without I lose
for some reason i can't stay away from you


Meanwhile this other dude we hiked a few times
Does it mean i have to give up my life
He calls me at 3 o clock in the morning asks if I am awake
Um hello its late at night
Usually sleeping tight
Dreaming right
Its the hour of a fool
He just wants to go to a hotel room
Where is the gardener who knows how to let the flower bloom?
Who knows how to make the fruit reply
I barely reply
He still finds a way back on the line
So its hard to see
The guy who is meant to be
I know one day my prince will come
He will do more than take me to Tahoe
He will put back the broken pieces of my heart and soul
The men got to man up
They have to realize its okay to love
its okay to ask a girl out ask get to know them the old fashioned way
Its okay to be tender at the touch
To say I miss you so much
Yet the Love word is also hard for me to say
Yet I heard someone say if we can hate for no reason
Love can last longer than a season.
I guess with the other dude the pain and loneliness that surrounds are how we relate
Also there are butterflies and feelings of love that stays awake after all this time it never dies
we made love to always be my baby
yet still everything is so complicated
i still feel unlucky and ill fated.
he is too emotionally available to be the one
God keeps calling me to wake
Only God will guide me to the one meant for me
Only God can make the dream come true
Still in the end I am out here on my own
Maybe I need to speak up let him know
All of this so we can grow
but his situation makes me wonder what is the point
I lose my voice
Tomorrow is another day
All I meet are men who play mind games
With sweet words that are nice maybe its a start to something better
The texts are the modern love letter
The ex never missed me even when I was across the sea in Greece
He is Asian too its just not in our DNA
Yet he found the way to love someone new
When I am sitting here out here on my own
Wondering where are you
This dream is still known
This dream is not dead
I know my prince will come in the end.
He calls me princess maybe he is a diamond in the rough
Maybe that's why my heart and soul tell me to not give up
Even with the mind games you can only win with love.
In the mean time we are lost down here
Uncoupling love from sex and replacing it with fear
So not me
I am following my heart
i will keep on no matter how dark
I know now.
I remember
Always will be my baby
He says he wants me always
it makes me crazy
such sweet words leaves a girl feeling hazy
Yet there is some truth to it baby
I jumped from the plane
in to his arms
in to his heart
nothing can keep us apart
why are men so fickle?
always thinking about their pickle
i write it out here
Out on my own with this eternal tear
they want to get me a hotel room
they want to take me  Tahoe
I can do that all on own
only with love can we grow
we are made to love each other
lets stop distancing each other
judging each other
increasing the hunger
let love be the wonder
that wakes us up
stop uncoupling sex from love
they walk hand in hand
when we remember
only then will we understand
all the things we need are more than a working economy
its love between man and women
equality
stop telling her what to do with her body
if you keep planting the seed
let the flower grow
let love be shown
till then i am out here on my own.
