giving up on a long ago deam

never wish what is not yours there are consequences with an untrue love

what would it be like to have paired with what you wished for all of these years

like having a monkey's paw --    your wish would turn to tragedy

your loved one's eyes would roam

he would push you away 

every day

out of his mouth, would come curses and screams:

"you aint no body's dream

your  ugly , your fat  

 old as a cat

can't take you out in public

your body aint hot--  Scat!"

and off he goes

texting those

he loves, with the golden toes

how lucky that wishes do not come true

an abusive tongue, and a cold cold heart 

would eat and destroy , mock and discard

all that  had promise of the deepest  tree 

of passion--   a couple  in love

with  the heart now disasembled

hung by a rope , done in by smoke................

lesson learned     dont wish    accept what you have and be satisfied

Takes two working at it to keep together... and if you never reach you never get.

"Settling For" is what most have done - impatient, afraid to live by themselves, social approval and achievement, and materialistic to name a few.

It really helps to understand your self and admit what you really want ...

you can admit what you really want but most likely you may not '' get it'' so it goes...

[Chris]

yes, but at least then you HAVE a clue what you're after.

[Chris]

and you haven't been rude at all... just real.

I think it's always in the back of your mind regarding past loves. How would it have worked out. But in reality, it's our own insecurity at work. Someone once told me. Move on, or move out.
