My Poems

Recognition

I can count on one hand

how many times I've felt like this.

You've become a constant reminder

of what I could have

and what I deserve.

I've shown you my scars

shared my wounds

and spoken my secrets.

You took me as I am

my entire being

and I gave it willingly.

It sparked something inside

a rain cloud bursting at the seams

now the rain continues to fall.

Helplessly with out release it will flood

you are with her ever night

why not with me?

I'm being played for a fool it seems

but why can't I let go?

I'm on the outside looking in

never to be the one you keep

wondering why this is what it is

always hoping for more

and knowing it will never come.
