Wicked One Way Street

A Poem by pastelroses

This poem is about a relationship where you would do anything for them, but they wouldn't do the same for you.

Wicked One Way Street

I'm standing on the edge of the dock,

Watching the wild waves,

Boldly break across the rocks on the smooth shore.

My heart starts to beat like a drum

As my skin starts to tremble tremendously

Like a lush leaf.

The fear starts to wash all over my body

Like a terrific tidal wave.

But as I see your battered body

Laying limp in the ravaged water,

I know I must jump.

So I use my body like a warm blanket

And save you from the searing storm.

The fear vanishes when I see

Your sapphire eyes quickly open

And your sweet smile

Appear on your face.

I kiss your soft cheek

As I pull you up to your feet.

I help you across the soggy sand,

But I trip over a sharp stick,

As a wild wave

Grabs me with its fierce fingers

And drags me into the

Scorched sea.

I wave my hands from side to side

As the darkness starts to

Silently suffocate me.

I wait for you to rescue me

But your body stands motionless

Like a significant statue.

And all I see before I am

Succumbed by the somber shade

Is your searing smile

Which slices my heart,

Even before it stops.

I absolutely love this! I felt the deep emotions you tried to capture and had goosebumps while reading it. I have felt this way quite a number of times and it's good to see that feeling captured so beautifully in this poem.

Yes, a one way street is the perfect title for the situation. Unrequited love while in a relationship isn't quite as romantic as the name suggests. maybe it should be changed to indifferent love. It is a feeling I wouldn't wish on anyone and you have captured it wonderfully here.
