Really Short Poems

Forever Endless

The first meet was disappointing,

With my conscience wholly disjointed,

But still you persisted

With this broken man

Body and soul, I was no match

To your life, to yourself.

I never thought I would write it down

But since there is no one who cares

Anywhere around

I finally pulled all the courage I had

To write this piece that I never have.

I admit I was excited

despite the macabre

that surrounded my life

with despair feeling light.

I admit I was lonely,

Before you called me

And I readily accepted

like a wounded fish had been offered

a new lease of life.

But I admit I failed

To make a mark, then and there

To create a life, my way

As I had never known

If I deserved such a day.

I realized

After some time

What I had missed

And some time later

The defense had been breached

But not by me, my deepest regret

It felt like my wait would extend

Forever, endless.

And I stopped

But I didn't leave

I tried to find something

Deep inside of me

Something that I had lost

Or maybe I didn't ever possess

Maybe these were just excuses

Forever, endless.

I did try, to win you back

But a familiar eternal foe

Had me retreating

And I admit I thought

This is the way I should be treated

Forever, endless.

But I hope, this time was better

But of course you have grown altogether

From mine to his, you have made a giant leap.

Now, I only hope that you finally arrive

To a point where you don't need him to survive

And I will try to become

A little less than my present mess

And I'll always be there for you

With my love

Forever, Endless.
