Your Spiraling Affection

A new perspective of him and I: indifference.

It is demolished, the thought of
forgiveness.
The thought of conversation,
to come forth with every truth.

Unspoken, every lie saunters,
dawdling through thick grasses,
where snakes slither and poison
grows.

Horror has replaced hope,
though both outnumbered
by time's indifference.

Guilt, once wrongly settled
upon my shoulders
returns itself to you.

Excuses, yours to give
come spewing.
Meaningless and as effective as a
drought.

Forgiveness that you're not worthy of,
granted.
Uncaring and neutral.
Unaffected and unblemished:
hidden scars only ever telling
that reality.

The truth which you're unable to give
not bothered to place.
The truth that I do not wonder.

Author's Note

I would love to hear anything you'd have to say. :3.

[Malcolm J. Watt]

This really resonates with me. I can not remember the number of times I have heard this exact mesage from women who have told me about their relationships with their male partners. It is expressed powerfully in a berevity that only the images of poetry can attain. It's why poetry is so useful for crystalizing emotion.
A really good picture of how things can go between people.

brings to mind indifference to the one you're forgiving. sounds like you've become disillusioned with everything. but you must really care for that person although he's just been telling lies, or there could be no forgiveness. it's like you're saying,, 'may as well." excellent expression of a love that still exists even though.
