In The Middle

He loves her

She loves him

So…where do I fall in the middle?

 

She'll tell me the stories

He'll text me details

They love one another

Where do I come in?

 

I've known her for years

Him all my life

I love him too

Where is my place in this?

 

She trusts me

He trusts me

I'll smile through the tears

Wondering where I stand

 

Monstrous distraction

Challenging my strength

Conquering my will

I can't understand

 

Why wait today

For a better tomorrow

When I can't relate

To their bond

 

Should I be the good friend?

Continue to pretend

How long will I be

Able to hold on?

 

Answer me

Enlighten me

Will me

Guide me

 

Show me the path destiny will take

 

Before I fall

Before I fail

Before the antagonist

Prevails

 

Show me how to end this

Once and for all

This was really good. :D
Getting stuck in the middle is always hard, no matter why you're in it, and what you're in the middle of.
A poem is a story put into fewer words, and that makes its point in this piece.
Sometimes being in the middle is a good thing, pending on who you're in the middle of.
Overall great right, and here's that one I owe ya. :)

I would dissagree with mason and I say take the chance, why would someone turn you down, and wouldn't it be worse if someone found out after years and had second thoughts?
but in any account amazing topic good dialouge
regular paper out of you I suppose

A fairly common story, isn't it?
I can relate to this, anyway...
Not sure whether to confront him and say something for your sake, or remain silent and say nothing for their sake. If you stay silent, maybe the time will come when you can say something(i.e. they break up)...But if their loves grow, it's impossible to know whether or not this is a sign that you and him weren't meant to be because you never took the chance. In the end, it's just who you are. If you don't say anything, then that's part of being who you are, and that's the only way to find true love. So, if by staying silent, you miss your "chance," then, maybe, it really wasn't meant to be.
Awesome poem. Thanks for sharing!

Love is not want you want
it is what is given

Let love come to you,
for when it does you will
look back at every man you
thought you once loved and they
will be nothing compared to what God
gave you

I loved this poem a lot
you are extremely talented
keep writing

wow. we must have went thru the same situation. funny how life can do that, its the reason why we all connect in ways we wont understand... I'd be re-typing the whole poem if i had to pick my favorite part, everything flows so well together as if you were in a corner of the room speaking these very words to yourself trying to figure out new ways to "smile thru the tears"

well done circus nerd. Will be reading from you more often!


"Show me how to end this

Once and for all" - Are you speaking to yourself or God?

[Deepshikha]

I thought I could figure out whom you were talking about, but you've been placed in this situation so many times that I no longer know.
You've shared all this angst with me in person, so I know how it's supposed to sound. And you've done justice to your rants.

Very Good. I enjoyed reading it and thanks for my review, I do appreciate the Critique. Thanks again!

"Stuck in the middle." Or... is it the other way around? People come and people go. Some walk unnoticed. The ones we form bonds with, unbreakable, we call friends. Friends rely on each other. They share their dreams, thoughts, life. Is the one in the middle truly in the middle? Or is the one in the middle the true reliance? Love never works out the way you want it to. It is easily corrupted by hate. It has to be fought for. If it isn't fought for, it will cease to maintain and/or wither up and die. A beautiful beginning starts with open ears and an eager heart. The one in the middle has them both.
