Living Only Here

By Entropy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Living only here in view; screened.There are those times I reliveAnd places I can’t forgetTimes and faces.I dwell too much;I can’t walk away,I can’t. I want those times, too much.I don’t have anything greatOr singularI’m a cowardLost and all too commonI have nothing you could treasureOr stories you’d understandIt’s all only people placed in my pastFaded faces that I couldn't’t impress.Still it’s youAlways you, living myself in your eyesI can’t be greatWithout you.My Man is being with youTending what you saw as shallowRising when you fallWarming you when being cold is right.I can’t be moreOr lie enough to be your dreamI can’t promise anymoreHere, I am.As I should be-C.A.WoodingWhy should you continue, seek more, if those that came before have never moved further...? Everyone thinks themselves precious, but the reality is, there are those who deserve love and those that have only the remnants those who loved them; We aren't all entitled to be loved!!! That's the lie and problem repeated. Whole is only a place for the young, then the pool is opened and becomes soiled by the pasts' of others...
