About the ultimate realization of what relationships mean, and what an individual is capable of doing.

People change, pictures fade,
two paths crossed memories made.
Hearts lost, pennies cast,
tears fall, hearts break,
celebrations of joy, one heart ache.
Strangers met, friends forgot,
truth be told, lies are caught.
Stars dimmed, envy glows,
bottled up feelings, no one knows.
Decisions made, one walks away,
a single tear, nothing more to say.
Much confusion, one outcome,
to many to start, in the end none.
Wishes wished, dreams drempt,
futures foreseen, only contempt,
lying friends, pain to be faced,
kisses given, only a taste.
An empty heart, a lonely night,
feelings felt, cant decide,
feelings spoken, tears to be cried.
Hatred hidden, anger buried,
secrets to bear, a burden to be carried
a true love found, another lost,
a new found price, a broken cost.
A heart broken, one confession,
words spoken, a new found obsession.
A poem read, a book wrote,
a silence born, one voice spoke.
A secret locked, a prize stole,
a warning made, a useless goal,
much worry, but more pain,
a shattered world, so much shame.
Commitments made, others lost…
a hidden deal, a secret cost.
Seduction established, a broken will,
lost habits, a heart grows still,
a dream come true, a wish afar,
weary eyes, a shooting star.
An I love you said, another lied,
an argument started, choose a side.
A past that haunts, cant let go,
old times lost, a stranger found,
a useless soul, a change in sound.
A desire buried, a second chance,
no ones looking, a stolen glance,
an arrow struck, a heart ripped,
a secret feeling, an opinion slipped,
gotta get out, on your own,
this last one, time alone.
Wide awake, half asleep,
its not fair, feelings gone.
To much pain, not enough,
lost control, just to tough.
Something slips, a memory
a heart lost, another possibility…
things felt, a place to belong,
a sacrifice, days grow long,
another lie, an invasion of privacy,
a tangled web, a controversy.
Take advantage, an upper hand,
get up to walk, can’t stand.
A traitor admidst, a backstab,
feelings taken away, reality won’t grab.
Darkness inside, so helpless,
time will tell, a second guess,
love set free, our crossed lines,
this is our story, our telling of time.

    Ahh, a normal relationship–so good to see that things aren’t changing out there in the heart of a poet. Nice account of self examination/realization. The “anal” side of me would like to see you change “To many to start” and To much pain” to “Too many, and Too much”..also, apostrophe missing with cant (can’t).

    There’s a lot of anguish in this one, though a good read just the same.
