Last In Line

 

Every time I have tried

To be the romantic

And making the girl feel

Like my princess.

 

But just like clockwork

I get left behind

For the mean ogre

Under the bridge.

 

I am always last in line

Behind the bad guy.

Well now I am stepping out

To walk down a road…

 

Wide enough for one.

Author's Note

Again this is not much, just expressing myself.

This woman honestly believes in "meant to be" now. If you haven't found THAT yet, none of the others are worth messing with, anyhow, tis true. However, you have to be out there and open to find her, your perfect other half.
Much love to you, my friend. Well expressed and I'm sad that you feel this.

Sorry Dale...but you nor anyone can predict the future.....so stop looking for that special someone and they will be all yours before you know it....Cos you CAN'T plan it !! Your heart is healing at this very moment...and will continue to do so....till your WOMAN arrives at your door...ready to jump right in to your, by then, very strong heart and you will face the future together.
Well expressed. Thanks. Thinking of you....now you think of me and what I've been saying to you....
Take care

Dale, it's what you do not say that I feel you in this piece. You have expressed yourself well, here. Without a doubt, in the moments of rejection, neglect or simple failure to be acknowledged we find ourselves feeling to be so many things... and none of them feel good...

Yeah that is the way it goes. I have tattoo's and mohawks and piercings so i usually attract the girls okay, but then they realize I am just a nerd who wears his heart on his sleeve..... Short but relatable and point well made. I really like the way you ended it.... A road wide enough for one. It seems it is the one many of us travel.

I want to forward this poem of yours to some of my male friends. I wish they felt and realized things the way you did. This will be a kind of food for thought . The piece is short but evoking!

When I decided I was tire of chasing woman. Woman started to chase me. I learn a man who is not desperate. Gets more opportunity. I like the poem. I felt in my life better to be alone to clean up the mind. A very good poem.

Stay clear...a lightning could strike... beware... but leave all the options open...It will come to you... stop looking !

[Jenny Nelson]

Well, expressing one's self, I think, is what poetry is all about, and you did a great job. The road will widen when "the right one" comes along. Often times it's when you least expect it. Seen it happen far more than once, especially after the girls realize the "bad boys" are just that and only that... bad. Hang in there. We're pulling for you. This is so to the point and honest. It really is a great piece.

That's a hurtful way to feel, feeling like you're not good enough. Too bad people can't see that wonderful person they have in their life right in front of them, whether your a man or woman. It's there loss but its always our pain and we have to get through that pain and decide if we want to try again.

[The Analog Kid]

The Last in Line...good title. It is mostly disappointment. Be good to yourself. The bad boy thing is her loss! The main thing is: don't ever change to suit someone else's warped view of a MAN! Nice write...

[Sheila Kline]

Oh my....continue to walk on that road just wide enough for one until you heal. There is much pain that oozees out of the body and soul when disappointment, rejection, and loss overwhelm us! May you heal quickly and that perfect one be found for you! You are sooooooooooooooooo deserving! I cry with you, as I am sure many here for also doing!!
Hugs for you dear friend!!
