A year older
none the wiser
quotes the greats
hidden behind scotch
and a glass vase
Dim light
stories
of two hands
ready to crack
what might
miles stretched bodies
Can you put the pieces
Back
of shattered glass
when the vase
Never stood
to begin
Have some class
But Once a memory
And now you’re here
Fixed in a glass case
of time, the same
heart, same face
Roses filled my room
But my vase
Was not the only one
to be filled
We know what did
Change has grown
into a flower made of thorns
Where you polinated
every pedal
not grounded by our roots
not adorned
where lies
were a sensual play
a scene on stage
a fetish of trust
a delay
Our energies
tear at this room
While we feel
we still remember,
what was
real
Poke and prode
But the silence
Will fill this room
Until your thoughts
Can no longer hide
No longer assume
celebrated face
drifting out of reach
those balloons filled
with hot air
were squeezed out
by your fire,
affair
Speak up now,
or forever hold your truth,
What will be
Take a step forward,
and see

Lover’s False Expectations Analysis:
I hoped you like my poem,
This was a writing idea I came up with
To write from a different perspective, a different life
I chose to write from a woman who has been separated from her partner, and is wondering if she will get back with him, after his affair.
Trust is always the foundation of relationships, but when people’s life experiences get mixed in, things get complicated.
It hurts to see false expectations
and devoted time crushed by others choices. I can relate to that in the way of emotional affairs, of being distant, and making excuses to avoid conversations.
The root of it all is not being direct about your wants and needs, and following through on the other end as well.
You must be direct about your wants and needs and have the other side follow through as well.
But, when someone comes around again, how will you really know things would work out? I don’t think that is for anyone to decide. But, I think that is up to you, and what you feel is right. Ask yourself
Do you feel safe, and really do feel loved, for being yourself?
without feeling constrained or deprived.
In any situation, always look at both possible sides.
What will my life be like this way compared to if I make this decisions.
Every day, you are your own ethics professor,
