-bittersweet....-

 

these thoughts...they

continue to flow through my mind...

just as water flows from a pumping well

they are constant

 

thoughts like...

maybe i should have loved you harder

turned into stone for you

let everything bounce off my heart

as if i didn't feel it

but wait....stone.

even stones chips

and begins to crumble with repeated trauma

 

the things you threw my way,

a pitcher with "MVP" accolades would have dodged...

well, i don't want to play in this game anymore;

i'm stepping away from the plate

...it's way past 3 tries at this,

you've struck out on luck

and i'm going on strike

there are no promotions for love

and it's been too long since i've seen any bonuses

 

another thought surfaces from deep down

how did a love so good

fall apart...

i guess that's what they meant

when they say, "Love can be bittersweet."

 

please excuse me while i clarify "bittersweet"

........................

they say it's, "both pleasant and painful or regretful;

a mixture of pain and pleasure."

......"yup", that's what they meant....

 

how does one keep "time" with love

how do you know when it's time to walk away,
when the time is to accept that the timing is all wrong

why must i sacrifice all my time for you

and be left with no time from you

i gave you everything without hesitation...
until i had nothing left

the bouts of give take,

give, give, give, and give it all again...
when is it time out for that

anybody have time to answer me that..

 

....i need a long time-out....

do you have time....ex-lover, do you..

well, i'm sure your answer would have been,

"no"

because all the time you have
is spent at the two of your two jobs...
you're too busy clocking in.

nights and days setting your alarm clock

because you live all your life-time at work

 

there IS no time for you to love me...

and you still wonder why i stopped playing the game
must i rewind the tape again

and re-play the highlight:

 

-you were unavailable. all the time.-

I love how you put your personality into this. I felt like I was the one being ripped a new one. I also liked how the narrator was connected with their self and decided that it was the last straw for them. Everyone has to grow some balls sometime in their life. Live your life without following behind someone else�s. You don't need anyone else to tell you different.

I love this part

"do you have time....ex-lover, do you.."

I love how you switched it from lover to ex... it showed that it was over, and it made me happy as a reader to read that.

:) Over all....

Your work still hits me.
