Why can't we just communicate?
I can write hundreds of poems in a day.
I can communicate clearly with the world.
But with you I just can't.
We didn't need words once.
Now words aren't even enough.
I delete everything I write.
I choke with nothing sounding right.
The one person I want to communicate with.
Yet I just can't ever say it right.
Do you mirror this as well?
Do you wonder if I will ever reach out as well?
I keep hoping you'll just reach out.
Break the ice that has grown so cold.
But you never do.
While I never find the words to.

It’s difficult when we can’t communicate our truth to another person .. and the person on the other end is distant anyway
Sorry .. it is painful .
A good writing tho ))
Thanks! I felt it was relatable to many people. 😊
I hope he reaches out one day )))
Me too for my sanity but I am afraid it is too late for that lol! Eh, of course it's bothering me hence the poem but at the same time I am learning to be okay with it. If he can't see the gold that I am than someone else will.
Sad (( I wander why he never tries reaching out .. not even a hello ?
Yes , I’m sure someone else will and I don’t think it’s your fault that he isn’t
I know it's such a cliche answer but our past is complicated. Not in a toxic way but just complicated and we just fear each other's rejection more than we like to admit I suppose.
your words are sadly, so - so relatable
dear poet, thanks for sharing..
(over time, after pondering
this same anomaly
in direct opposition, to my usual
capacity for expressing myself
somewhat eloquently
I came up with this, explanation)
'the difference between, elite performers
at sport or competitive business
fields
is that, those who do well
can remove, the magnitude
of the situation
from their mindset's, perspectives
and simply
find a window, of calmness
to perform
like any other times or when training
for this moment or event..
and that's exactly what happens
when we engage
with people that have a profound
impact, on us
or have a conversation, from which
we envisage
consequences, that will impact
our lives significantly..
and so
just like in that Olympic final
some of us, will crumble
buckle and submit
to the pressure of the moment
while others
with better natural reactions/mindsets
or those
who buckled, before
and have retrained themselves
to withstand this pressure:
go-on
to perform, at their maximum
potential..'
('that my 2 cents worth...' lol)
and so
what I have come to understand
is that
if I can't, have the conversation
I want to
or express myself, as I
choose to
its something, within me
revealing my limitations
at this point and time
and that's, perfectly alright..
so my choices
are to write down what I want to say
beforehand
and read verbatim, or
wait
allow myself, to grow
naturally
so that next time, I'm faced
with a similar situation
I'll be ready!...
(choose what suits you best, dear poet)
and sorry for the lengthy reply
No don't be sorry at all for the lengthy reply! I really love and appreciate the time you took to write this. I love the way you put it in terms of performance pressure! It's the best way to explain it. I honestly enjoy the insight you always share! Your replies are well written poems on their own. It also opens up excellent conversation. Others might browse the comments after reading the poem and enjoy your perspective. So never apologize for expressing your much needed wisdom on matters that so many struggle with.
I think that's the impasse in any relationship coming to an end, and the one who walks away first really has said the last word.
I love your perception on the poem! Thank you for reading and commenting. I really appreciate it! 😊
