Torn

I look at you and see someone different. 

Now I'm torn with who I want you to be and who you really are. 

You're no longer the man I once adored.

You can't win me over anymore. 

You can't stop me from writing my soul's desire. 

I'm torn to give you a chance. 

I'm torn to be your friend and carry on. 

I'm wide awake now and I see what's really here.

I wish I could know. 

What the right choice to make for me is.

I wish I wasn't torn between wrong and right. 

Even while I'm torn at least I know where my boundaries now. 

But nothing is "okay" right now. 

That's just how I feel. 

Hot and cold. 

Undeciding right now. 

I'm simply torn.

Very nice poem. I know I can relate. Thanks for sharing.

[Aly]

welcome.

You are in a dilemma again, I remember you having this problem before in another poem, is it about the same situation. I remember something similar myself and always wishing I had taken the other path, I guess that doesn't help, sorry.

You have expressed your emotions very well and put your feelings on the page, which has made a great piece of poetry.

[Aly]

If you're talking about "Scared" It's about the same guy but it's a completely different situation now.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Leigh]

I did enjoy it, I hope you sort it out and are happy

[Aly]

I am happy. I'm not Torn anymore.

[Leigh]

Great :-)

i wondered about the inspiration, it is never easy to decide on situations based on pain and uncertainty. bottom line is, you must protect yourself in the end, no matter how much you may hurt another, excellent rendering of natalie's ideas. you have made it your own.

[Aly]

thank you :)

[disheveledApathy]

[Aly]
