I am in a rut because I just want to write about him, but the words escape me. It is dear to my heart though, I hope you all catch the meaning. I love comments....hint,hint....LOL [bodytext] => I barreled down this road I knew dead ended,
Never expecting to get caught up in your grace.
Only a fool would let this die and I admit it,
It is just so confusing stuck here in this place.
With two hearts tangled in the spokes;
One out of habit, the other in love.
Not sure where to turn, I go for broke,
Only to cave in when push comes to shove.
But I felt what I was missing holding onto you
Running away was wrong; I could have done this right
Looking back, so sorry for all I put you through
Pulling you into me before I dared take flight.
Seems I am the kind of girl they warned you about,
The simple path unfolds and I quickly follow suit.
You fall under so deep before I cop out,
Cursing the wasted failure of the pursuit.

The Failure of the Pursuit

I barreled down this road I knew dead ended,
Never expecting to get caught up in your grace.
Only a fool would let this die and I admit it,
It is just so confusing stuck here in this place.
With two hearts tangled in the spokes;
One out of habit, the other in love.
Not sure where to turn, I go for broke,
Only to cave in when push comes to shove.
But I felt what I was missing holding onto you
Running away was wrong; I could have done this right
Looking back, so sorry for all I put you through
Pulling you into me before I dared take flight.
Seems I am the kind of girl they warned you about,
The simple path unfolds and I quickly follow suit.
You fall under so deep before I cop out,
Cursing the wasted failure of the pursuit.

I don't think who ever rated this a three knows what they are talking about. This is still a good poem. Not all poems have to rhym when they come from the heart. I still like your other poem better and I know what it is like getting stuck in a rut. Just keep writing and don't listen to any negative comments because when you write from the heart you can not produce a bad poem. Talk to you later. Check out The Foolish Young Man and let me know what you think of it.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
