Ålter Ego

Come to think of it, I have been called a boob on many occasions, so maybe the answer is yes to all.

It is time that you concentrate on finding another woman to complete you. Lingering and longing for something that is out of reach will cripple your psyche for years. It would be convenient for you if she would list every single thing that explains why she only wants to only be friends and not lovers. But then you'd probably change yourself for the worse just to please her. This was probably not meant to be. Hanging around will only make things worse. The friendship can be saved, but only if you can accept the terms. Can you? Will you? Finding these mythical creatures we call SoulMates is tricky because there are dopplegangers running amuck. These 'gangers disguise themselves as our One and Only, doing what we want, looking the way we like or saything the things we like to hear. But there is something about them, or something about us, that makes it impossible for a romantic union to develop. That is when you know you have encountered a doppleganger. We can all hang around to see if their minds can change and accept this supposed fate that we should be together, but before you know it, you're older and you've missed some of life's blessings because you're chasing after something that cannot be caught. Find someone else, for your sake and for the friend's sake.

That was some powerful stuff. We are all here for you if you need us, if you need to express your pain more, through poetry or otherwise. You are brave and I admire you.

Poetry is about feelings, and I can feel what you wrote. It was beautiful.

Me too, but I'd probably try to nuke the core so that the world can feel my pain.

Just as Moon Goddess speaks the truth, you speak powerful words Rozi! I can hear the droplets of blood splatter on the floor from all victims involved. Me likes like poem. But like the name of this site sez, (Y)e(are)notalone.

Following your story, I can sense the emotions flowing in your words. Damn the fiend. Yet will it happen again? Can't say no for definite for the future beholds many realities, but since the present dictates it, it is a sad ending to the chapter indeed. And a very nice poem.

Yeah thanks for blowing the whistle on us, Sunshine. Now we're both on our way to the big house ya dope ya. Nothing but water and crackers for the rest of our lives. It's curtains for us! Curtains I say! Curtains!

Boy I can surely relate to this 2000%. Nice poem, sad but true. I hope you feel better.

Geez I could feel that one. Very nice, very sad. Although I must admit, the title made me think of something else, as I am the master of my throne after a hearty meal. But lovely poem.

This poem commands. It speaks loud volums in soft tones. Romantic Sweetheart, I bow to you.

This is very good ShySoul. Very good indeed. I never fear shadows unless they're not my own...

With a vivacious stretch And vociferous yawn I embrace the future And welcome the new dawn My morning breath to be damned Rubbing my sleepy eyes I take time to marvel At the crisp vermillion sky Accompanied by vanilla puffs As the background fades to blue With shades of grey and gold As the sun plays peek-a-boo The day gets even brighter But the time goes too fast I must cease my hesitation And try to make this day last Yet it's so hard to arise From the slumber that I embrace But I've already wasted an hour There's no more time to waste I spring out of bed Trying to clear my thoughts If I let yesterday command today Then my efforts are all for naught A hot shower and a shave With minty fresh teeth I grab the morning paper As kids play in the streets My surroundings are epic As if inspired by a muse But is this really picture perfect Or an elaborate ruse There's no time to doubt I have too many goals to achieve So what if I failed yesterday Today I have to believe This will be my day I will conquer my fears and sorrow And if I fail today I'll look forward to succeeding tomorrow

Two shy souls Who were made for another So alive and so free We were destined to be I saw you at a party Standing all alone So shy in your stance Too shy to dance Your arms wrapped around you All alone with your thoughts Looking so insecure So radiant and pure I have seen you before In my prayers and dreams And now I can't look away I just have so much to say About how I can tell That our spirits will click But will you even care Do I even dare Our eyes would lock Only to quickly pull apart Our eyes would meet again This time with shy grins Our darting glances Turn to awkward stares Now is my chance To ask you for this dance I can see in it your eyes That I am not alone That you feel the same That this is more than a game But along comes another With more confidence that me Now you two get involved As my hopes dissolve He makes you laugh And you forget about me Now you have your dance And I missed my chance He won't let you go Because he knows what he has If I only knew Then I would've danced with you I take one last look At your beautiful smile As I go my own way With still so much to say I feel cluttered with remorse As our ships passed by On this terrible night This unbearable night You are gone from my life But I will never forget But I will always regret That our souls never met...
