PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

eight acres of a not so simple ecstasy

now stand broad between us

out dating why forever

the harmless camaraderie

we once so easily shared

did we barter something

so terribly precious

solely to purchase that of which

we thought would be so much better

or did we only manage to destroy any

chance we might have had

for what could have been in our subsequent

greed

say for just another hot letter

you tell me

as so far through this incredibly long

wall of tears

I can not seem to see for myself or

otherwise

when quite ironically enough

regrets and hindsight

have hung me out to dry

in such confused shame

I can not help but wonder

how you alone would take reading

these very words

thankfully though

there indeed will come a time

when I won't really care

I am just unable to even imagine that

moment at this very blurred juncture

in time

but that will change

I most assuredly assure you

that will indeed change

as even one's initial emotions

must adapt to the time

if they wish to survive............
