Monogomy

need to fix it up still...maybe a lil cynical but i think too many people are guilty of this foolishness...

 

 

 

 

 

- so

here's to

monogomy

and monotony

and this continuous routine

between you and me...

 

and here is to us

thinking

things would always be perfect

we would always get along

and that according to some greater force

we were meant

- we belonged!

 

and here is to you

and here is to me

and to  everyrhing

that we always

dreamed this to be

 

and

here is to us

doing

all of  the of things

that we thought

we  were supposed to do

and how

I am sure now....

that you are probably

just as sick of me

as i am of you.....

 

- well

once upon a time

we were once

wholesome

and pure ,

so

raw and naieve

and so hopeful

and eager

in all of this

to  truly believe ...

 

and once upon a time

we happend to be

these two lost soles

looking to console

what felt like

for us both  

some big black

vacant

empty hole...

and when we met

 we connected

we felt more than

what we ever expected

- we were in awe of that spark

and thought

that this meant

that we should never

ever be apart.....

 

we thought it was fate

that made this

all feel so right

and we were blinded

by some decieiving

mis-leading light ...

 

but now

those days are long gone

and and our lives keep

moving along  

i know we both   wonder

if perhaps?

we got it all wrong

but we are cowards

petrified

to ever admit

or dare think

of actually

starting over, 

and  moving  on....

 

and so

we keep enduring

the passing of   time

and we come to terms

with  the fact

that i will always be yours

and

you will always be mine....

 

and we convince ourselves, 

maybe,  

it just

makes sense now

to continue

to ride this thing out

since we already

put in the time

and planned this all out...

and as we dismiss

any  notions

of dissapointment

regret

or even  doubt

we just persuade ourselves

to believe

that maybe

this is what love

is all really about.....

In the beginning it's always sweet and lovey dovey..
It's the scent of something new and refreshing, yet
as time inches forward it sours like a expired date
on a milk carton...All we can do is hope it last longer
then the milk carton ;) A beautiful write with a lesson
to be learned...

So some people commented on the poem and some on it's real world application, etc. I don't know which to do. Ha ha. But here we go.

I liked the poem. It starts with the feeling like you are either giving a toast or rambling like a drunk person filled with spite or regret or something. It brings you around with the good and bad of relationships which makes you wonder, "Where is she going with this?" I did like the end because it was the end. Most stuff kind leaves you floating around asking, "Is that it?" And it was a good ending at that because it brings to question, is that what love really is? Personally I don't believe so. I believe that there is a happy ending in life we just gotta find it and it ain't easy. Good job on the poem. :)

I really liked the start of this poem. But yes the duration of love is not always easy, passion and friendship can fade, even in the best of faces!

An honest tackling of this tricky topic though, props!

Your poetry is truly truthful and thoughts and feelings. I like reading your work even thou this is only the second poem of yours I have read. I use to fall into this trap and I would stay and endure but no more, if I ever feel this way again I will leave, because it isn't worth the heart ache or pain to continue in a dead relationship I would rather be by myself. Great write.

This a very beautiful well constructed piece! Sometimes it is worth working it out and sometimes others get caught in a relationship without knowing what true love is all about. This was a very inspirational poem. Good job!
