I'm wondering if I should say...
I'm wondering if it's even true?
But if neither of you take it well,
What am I supposed to do?
Stuck between a rock and a hard place,
All I do is cry.
Do I reveal this buried treasure?
Or carry on this lie?
I'm wondering if my love for one was real,
Or just curiousity?
Would my feeling have been the same
Without your animosity?
Then there's the other.
What can I say?
He could push me through the Gates of Hell
And I'd still decide to stay.
Two people, two hearts,
How could I fall for both?
And when the truth comes forth revealed,
How am I then to cope?
My mind is flooded with the memories of two very different souls.
And I've come along to just assume
So many different roles.
One says that I'm changed - I could never be the same.
The other wants to stay - regardless of the pain.
One I have lived to love,
The other I have loved and lost.
How could I sell the products short,
At such a cheaply cost?
One has forgotten what used to be;
He'll deny the past in every single way.
The other could not do without me for a single day.
Two very different people?
How could I love them both?
And when all is said and done,
Which do I love the most?
Is it really true that certain things are better
lef unsaid?
Or should I jump the bridge and simply say
What I feel instead?
The pain feels like an endless tunnel,
But it has just begun.
I really could not live at all
Without that certain one.
This poem reminds me of unfaithful the movie, but not the whole thing. In your last stanza you ironically write "i really could not live at all without that certain one" , but which one is it , makes me as the reader wonder, which one did you choose , since there were two at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteThis poem is deep. This happens in everyday life. When you love someone it should be impossible to love another just as deeply but thar isnt the case. I like this poem because it is true and it is also a subject no other poet has touched on in this blog. Great poem.
ReplyDeletei love the rhyme scheme, it makes the poem flow effortlessly!
ReplyDeleteI love the subject of this poem its so different because you aren't just talking about one person your talking about two very different people. Its full of such pasion and it leaves the reader wondering.
