Barren Road

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

This is a sum-up of a few relationships I've had. My attempt to put it all to words and as I do I see a pattern. This is why I'm single at the moment and wont give that up for less than someone who knows what they want.

Saturday, December 28, 2013

 

You hold me tight, then you let go
you embrace me, then you push me further away
You love me dearly and say you never felt this loved
Then all of a sudden, I'm a nightmare
and you swear you never felt this low 
 
Make up your mind, look at what I see
it can't be obvious only to me
Take a look down that barren road
no illusions, still confusion
lingers on, lingers on
 
You say you don't want me, you say you love me, all in a days work
How can that work?
You take a stand, put up a stop sign,
Then you start a show of all time love.
 
Make up your mind, look at what I see, it can't be obvious only to me
Take a look down that barren road
No illusions, still confusion
lingers on, lingers on
 
Now  you love me, lovingly gaze in my eyes for hours (nothing compares to you)
Then you hate me, silent treat me and stare at pictures of your ex for hours (she was never like you)
 
Better safe than sorry, that is what I say
And this is why I must be on my way
Take a look down that barren road
No illusions, still confusion
Lingers on, lingers on
 
spare me the drama, I just need a river of calm, real love, i just need real love, no drama, spare me the drama

Elisabeth...These are painful words of chaos! Well written and expressive. It certainly isn't a relationship worth being part of!

Peace to you,

Dayvid

Certainly written a lot of drama into this poem…

Sounds like a man who is in turmoil within himself and takes it out on you. Not a very good recipe for a lasting love.
