A Time For Reciprocity. A Poem


It's awful isn't it?
Wanting someone
So bad you can
Taste it?
You yearn and
You long
But they don't
Similarly respond.

Ah yes
It is a double edged sword
To feel such a strong pull
So glad you have someone
To value
But conversely
The lack of reciprocity
Can cause a pain
That is stabbing.

The depth of feeling
Emotional caterwauling
Drumming and beating
A timeless mechanism
That illustrates the human condition.
It's awful isn't it?
Wanting someone
Who could care less.
How much time
Should they get?
That is a question
I seem to have
Trouble answering.

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

I feel like that some times.
Do I let her make contact,
or do I repent my crimes?
I'm not very assertive. Fact.

Hi yesmamallthetime.

it happens every now and then...

we don't want to see it coming... but, there it is barreling right down at you...

made me think of this gem...

Janelle Kroll - "Down to You (My Confidante)"

Everything comes and goes
Marked by lovers and styles of clothes
Things that you held high
And told yourself were true
Lost or changing as the days come down to you

It’s down to you
Constant stranger
You’re a cold person
You’re a kind person too
It’s down to you
It all comes down to you
In the morning there are lovers in the street
They look so high
You brush against a stranger
And you both apologize

Old friends seem indifferent
You must have brought that on
Old bonds have broken down
Love is gone
Written on your spirit this sad song

It’s down to you
Constant stranger
You’re a cold person
You’re a kind person too
It’s down to you
It all comes down to you
Chicago’s not the East Coast
Tell me bout LA
I’m caught up in the middle
Tryna get away
How you gonna grind
You say how you gonna save
I’ll make it there by New Years
Lets throw a parade
You helped me to it my confidante
Don’t you forget it
But I’m going through it my confidante
you got a minute
We’re too young to worry about our future for today
And it's too late to talk about the past cause its 2AM
Some things will never change
Everything comes and goes
Pleasure moves on too early
And trouble leaves too slow
Just when you’re thinking
You’ve finally got it made
Bad news comes knocking at your garden gate
Knocking for you
Constant stranger
You’re a brute, you’re an angel
You can crawl, you can fly too
It’s down to you
It all comes down to you

Yeah you

To You (x3)

Yeah yeah

It all comes down to you...
