Supposed To.....??

8-23-10

Someone I know, he knows me well,
Or so he thought as I gave him hell
When it was over, it began again,
For some reason he just never could understand
Then came the time that I walked away,
A stupid thing to do....is that what you say??
I had to make a choice and I made the one that was painful,
Either way I would of been hurting someone, hell I do it everyday now
If only there could of been a way to save him from the pain,
I just might of done it but then I would of been stuck again
I then moved on with my life or so I thought,
Amazing how when you think you're in the clear here comes more strife
The years go by as if the prior never mattered,
Well at least to me as that isn't true for all as hearts were tattered
Then comes a new thought, one that shouldn't be anywhere near my head,
"Go figure" since I am a hopeless romantic at times my mind said,
This lifetime is way too short for not living every moment as if it is your last,
Then again it seems like forever when we're together if you count the time in the past
Even though I love you, 
I have love for others too,
So never count out what could be,
Due to you just getting to and him always have knowing me.

Then again it seems like forever when we're together if you count the time in the past...........

I understand that feeling...........of loving someone, and they come and go and stay, and we adjust, yes we do have love for others too, and must enjoy every moment of our lives, I did find the end abit confusing, the last line, but really enjoyed the flow and content.

I can understand this poem pretty much. I think you did a good job on this.

I actually understand how you feel, great job!
Nice poem!

[Poetic Beauty]

this poem is a little unclear to me. It is vague but the emotions are clearly portrayed. It has so many emotions running through it. the flow is a little hard to follow at the end and the last line doesn't sound quite right to me.

I understand what you are feeling, but honestly, there was a little difficulty trying to read these versus poetically instead of more like a paragraph. I feel your pain, I liked some of your writing, but I feel like you have great potential and you aren't using it as well as you could be. I'd try to help you break this down into smaller verses, but it wouldn't be my place since I'm not inside your head. This poem is great, the feelings are passionate and you rhymed at the right places. Don't be afraid to break the lines into smaller groups and expand the poem's length if you have to. Keep it up!
