Choosing to love the emotionally unavailable is painful

You're like the wind/ I cannot hold/ like the star/ I can’t behold/ unencumbered like the rain/ and loving you has become my bane...

OUCH, Some people live whilst sleeping. Such unrequited love is very painful.

Time to wane? Anyone to blame? It's all the same. I sense this is a poem about moving on.

I'm in the same situation, Shirley, and I wrote a poem about it called "Untouchable" and posted it a couple of days ago. I understand completely.

New Poetry by Shirley Beauty Houston

Some relationships are predestined

Forever

A woman is made weak by her lover''s touch

You are Powerful

From failure there is redemption

Phoenix

The rhythm of the ocean and serenity of solitude reminds me of the importance of celebrating the craft of poetry for its own sake

Freedom

A woman declares her independence after years of living the life someone else chose for her

Free

Releasing poetry into the atmosphere through the spoken word allows it to permeate the ear, eyes and soul of the audience. I spit it real!

I am Beauty
