copacetic musings.

a collective energy of love musings

copacetic

pretending
everything
is copacetic
when she is
really
quite
pathetic
wondering
what she
would do
without
his
love.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pillow talk

"nothing's wrong,"
she said,
and she tucked
her tears
inside the pillow
before he
could hear
the words
inside them.

debt free

I know you
make me
happy

and I think
I make you
happy too.

yet I wonder
is it right
to hold you

when there's
someone
out there

who can
give you more
than me.

I don't want
to let you
go --

without you,
my life
would be less.
                      
but I want
                       you to know
                       you are free.
                     
 you have me,
                       but only if
                       you want me.
                      
you don't
owe me
                       anything.
                      
especially,
not my
happiness.

I love each one of these messages equally well. In the first one, I like the juxtaposition between the words "copacetic" and "pathetic" (aside from the nice rhyme). In the middle one, I've actually done this a few times, so I know the deception well. Last but most well-enjoyed, the third message conveys my feeling about relationships, that other people can't make us happy (& I get so tired of poems that define love this way). I've always preferred a "debt-free" type of friendship/love. Great job! (((HUGS)))

Thank you, I am glad you stopped in.

Debt free... Sometimes we question our own worth. But don't, you're worth it.

[Lyn Anderson]

yes I know -- but life is a complicated tangle

[Matching Socks]

Yup, I know. Maybe your ex will get drunk and then hit by a car and it'll be like in the movies when the spell is broken and you are FREE! I'm sorry, I got carried away, but slowly things may untangle.

Free and a half million -- whoo hoo!

Thanks. I tried to remove the pink bar. I hope I have not been permanently MatureRated again.

so sad....has his love and yet questions whether or not she deserves it...

giving him an out---if only he could convince her that he wants no one else.
