Array ( [sid] => 142124 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Arms Length [time] => 2008-05-04 10:12:33 [hometext] => Talking to a friend, inspired me to write this. [bodytext] => ~*~

Arms Length

At times it’s me you keep arms length
That’s not how this should be
And I’ve pondered over what you said
Why do this unto me?

Do you find that it’s relief to you?
Or makes you feel the better
Then very carefully look at this
And read it to the letter

With this I just don’t sit quite right
I think I sense it in my heart
For you’ve made me feel it’s not the same
As it had been at its start

But what’s most strange, is where it’s felt
For it’s like this huge big knot
And it’s sharing a space within me
At a place that I’d forgot

It may be time, which to prepare
For what may come to be
I dread to think unhappy thoughts
An end to you and me

Still many times I’ve said before
And have sworn to him above
Whatever is to happen here?
You will always have my love

Yet, to this measure of your arm
That you’re pushing me away
Simply choose the words you need
And your decision I’ll not sway

This is very similar to a situation that my wife and I are going through right now...I will always love her despite whatever decision she may make but it is very very hard for me to not try and change her mind...because it is those unhappy thoughts that I dread so much...the ones of having to live without her....But just like you I pray to God above that I will never have to.....For my kids sake as well as my own....another great write....thank you for sharing.

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. Â©
