I love you more than life,
But I am not happy.
I would spend the rest of my life
Happily by your side.
But at what cost?
There is something that I want.
And I want it very much,
As much as I love you.
But I cannot have it.
Not if I stay with you.
It's not a part of your destiny.
It's not something you want.
Do I give up my biggest dream,
Or my truest love?
How do I choose between the two?
How do I tell you?
I already have you now.
Would I really walk away,
For something that might never be?
Do I say goodbye, to say hello?
Do I continue to love you,
And burry my dream deep inside?
I don't want to lose you.
I don't know what to do.
Maybe down the line,
I could convince you.
Until then,
A dream is nothing but fantasy.

This is written in a very human, very relatable way. We all have our struggles. You are facing one and I hope that the answer is shown to you quickly. Thank you for sharing.

I like your poem very much. It is well written and there is much to be read between the lines. One could take your poem to mean much more, like how do we choose between comfort and risk, between the known and the unknown, etc. Well done Birddie!
Thank you so much
without fantasy, we would devalue possibility: immediately...
your questions, helps curate your dreams,
your dreams help visualise an actualisation path to what you want from life,
keep asking and doubting: for that is living...
remember, we are but flesh and when pricked we too - easily bleed, so don't be too harsh with that miracle reflection in the mirror,
cherish each nuanced breath - free of context and let us all learn to simply accept, those twists of fate that await...
thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply,
I was drawn to the seemingly transparent honesty in your words, an enticingly accessible glimpse - depicting, those moments of doubt in our lives,
thanks for sharing
Have faith in your inner strength young lady. Your circumstances force you into the discomfort of awkward and hurtful questioning of your 'destiny'.
Woman was not meant to be forced into situations which are uncomfortable for them. What kind of a home and life would that result in?
There are many potential partners walking this planet and life is no race (or we would be born with a number on our back LOL).
Take your time, you know what you want, Accept no less or you and yours will suffer for it. Know yourself (as I'm sure you do) and be true to yourself.
There should be many smiles each day in our lifes.
