Over The Bridge

Over The Bridge

A Poem by Rebecca Hope Rouston

How is it that you became
The only man I knew with a beautiful name
This time, I'm just so lost
I need to give even when there's no cost
I began to feel completely alone
You were what made a condo feel like home
The solid platform of nineteen years
It's made of the same material and it disappears
My life is no longer about me
But to make sure you get to where you need to be
The moment I looked at you
I became addicted to seeing the colours you do
Without it, I've never found
The notes I'd sing to match your perfect sound
Behind my motive and reason
Thoughts revolve around building despite the season
I am what ever created this
And I'd be willing to have you be my last kiss
Hours spent on learning to fight
Are inevitably a waste when you're what's right
Sometimes I wonder to myself, too
If you need me like I definitely need you
The answer is very clear
That I'll always be okay as long as you're here

Again, another one that I love. You just seem to write in a way that is very easy to relate to.

Sometimes I wonder to myself, too
If you need me like I definitely need you

I think everyone who has been in a relationship has thought this at one stage or another.

"My life is no longer about me"
"That I'll always be okay as long as you're here"

These lines hit home for me :)

I sense in this piece desperate but true love and if there is one thing I enjoy most about reading poetry is when a piece touches on a subject I'm very familiar with. It twangs at the heartstrings, so to speak. To evoke deep and pure emotion from a reader ... the mark of a great writer.

Superbly done Rebecca :)

Home is where the heart is, but if you once shared it with a love gone away then you feel like a stranger in a strange land. Nicely written.

Again...the photo depicts this perfect.

I like how vulnerable, intelligent, and charming the protagonist is.
