What Never Shall Be

[TxRedheadGuy]

Looking back I have

So many questions unanswered

What once was clear is now so blurred

A future assured cast now in doubt

 

Between us was an electricity

So filled that none could deny

An intensity such as this man

Has never before felt or will again

 

We shared common thoughts

Your dreams I thought I knew

My dreams you did know

My heart was held in your hands

 

All my years of pain now had reason

Anguish felt to better appreciate you

My heart knew never to let you go

To give you all of myself without reservation

 

Your voice calmed my darkest nights

Illusion was mine that I calmed yours

Hope brought into my darkest hours

Life brought to a dead soul

 

Was it all just an illusion before my eyes

What was my misstep that cost me your love

Was I imagining something that didn’t exist

Or was something precious destroyed for fear

 

Love and compassion offered to you instead

Of the pain and anguish he gives

A choice I thought would be simple

Now made inexplicable to me

 

This garden I offered you in ruins now lies

Without rhyme or reason

Paths destroyed hopes battered

Bridges burned in silence

 

I bid thee well on the road you take

Mine shall not be so easy

Filled with the memory of what could have been

And crushed by what never shall be

Thats very well written. And full of intense emotion.

Well, in addition to posting it here, I also posted it on the message boards where me and her met. Not sure what kind of reaction I will get from others on that board, but I know for a fact it is only a matter of a few hours till she sees it.

What reaction are you hoping for?

[TxRedheadGuy]

It isn't so much the reaction I am hoping for, but the one I am expecting given that the other site is a military themed message board with a majority of members being active duty or retired military, so you can imagine the reaction of other sailors/soldiers/Marines to a male sailor posting poetry.

Well all I can say is I hope it gets the recognition it deserves.

If not a jesting from the guys that I'll never live down LOL

 

Thank you
