What's Best

Listening to a couple argue

 

When I open my mouth to speak, the words that are uttered are never what you like

My heart and mind always  go in different directions, it seems

Can I do or say anything that is to your satisfaction?

I feel inadequate compared to your dreams and aspirations.

Do I matter in your world? Should I collect my things and flee?

Should I leave behind all that we have created together?

Do I bring bad luck to your life?

If the answers are yes then I must move on.

Love will not have me to stay and make things difficult for you.

Unconditionally is the way I love you, so I will allow your world

to come together.

 I must give you the chance to make things better.

I want all of your dreams to come to fruition,

It seems as though I hinder your progress, in fact maybe you also hinder mine.

The best thing for us to do is to part and wish the other well.

I must, at this point set you free, allow you the freedom

to live your life to its fullest.

Oh yes, I would love to be a part of it,

But I will watch your dreams come true from afar.

And continue to cheer for you from the sidelines.

Author's Note

A nice couple that I know got into a really big one and this is what I came up with from it.

I feel inadequate compared to your dreams and aspirations. -- Yea...I guess sometimes that's just the way it feels.

You expressed this very beautifully.
Great write.

I lyke this a lot. It really explained many couples and how sometimes when you love someone, they are worth letting go.

Somethime it come to this just walk away while it can still be nice. You express accepting a love that has moved apart and the best is to part as friend. Well expressed and nicely written.

"But I will watch your dreams come true from afar.
And continue to cheer for you from the sidelines."

Those are by far, my favorite lines. You packed great emotion into the device used. Throughout the poem, I noticed this wasn't very raw. Most poems I read here are just flat-out raw. Your writing really stands out for the reason being, it's not. Great writing! Keep it up and send me some requests :)
