Array ( [sid] => 114831 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Gave Up [time] => 2006-02-14 21:09:08 [hometext] => This is one of those messed up situations i find myself in [bodytext] => I had given up on us
The words you now spoke were not words of consolation but of lost hopes
We thought it had completely ended
We both had a fondness for others
Even though mine did not compare to my feelings for you I was trying
You told me to try to move on
And yet you also hope that I was holding on to us
You get frustrated at my indecisiveness yet I am frustrated for the same reason
I’m scared you will change your mind when it is too late for me
I’m scared you love someone other than me
I had lost hope for us
I took off my ring of representation for us and locked it away
I refused thought of possibility because you pushed them away
When you told me of another chance I couldn’t comprehend it
I thought all hope was gone, banished to the winds
I was so excited at the thought yet in despair for I am with another
Will it work out?
I doubt it but you told me to try
I’m scared to lose you and yet I’m scared to have you
What will I do with us?
Did I kill all hope by being scared?
Will the other understand that I don’t feel the same?
Will he understand he doesn’t have the attention to give that I need?
Simple gestures of connection not there?
What am I to do? I gave up and now I have a chance
Will I squander it away or take it and run?

This is a very deep write. I hope that you find yourself again and get back on your feet.


Please consider some of my poetry as well, if you have time. Thank you.

THis is very deep and heart-felt. An awkward position for sure. I hope all works out for the best.
