Almost Is Never Enough
May 10, 2015If I had to describe
Our love in one word
I'd say it would be 'almost'
And it may seem absurdI almost fell too deep
Into the loathsome void
I thought it'd be steep
So I cared less to avoidHe almost stunned me
With his entirety
His words made it clear
That magnetism is his majestyThe struggle was real
By those all aside
The mutuality was a natural deal
And our hearts were destined to collideIt almost worked out
Because the efforts were fair
But as time passed
We almost didn't careWe fell apart
Because then, I didn't realize
That to love is to endure
And the sufferings are finalizedHe wasn't aware that for love to last,
There should be efforts and trust
The torments and horror of the past
Completely had us two in a thrustWith complete disagreement
The mutuality started to fade
We weren't in for imbuement
So hasty choices were madeAfter some time
I knew it was still him
It was just a misunderstanding
And the strength was dimAnd so I was prepared
Ready to make things right
But he found another girl
And I didn't want a fightRegrets do come last
Because we weren't too careful
Our love was a piece of glass
It was shattered, then I wasn't thankfulI still cherish what we had
And I'd love to have it back
But mistakes have been made
The consequences are starting to stackWe almost made it
We almost broke the cuffs
But when choices are made hasty...
Almost is never enoughㅡ
Note: Unfortunately, I am unable of updating this regularly. As you can see, most of my poems are about mushy, cheesy and sappy things about romance. I was able to write those because the difficulties were faced real-time and I had things to refer to (like harsh comparisons and never-ending assumptions). However, as of now, I'm living a happy life hahaha. No infatuation-related things for now. I am currently crush-less. It's so much better because there's less/no drama.
