PERHAPS

cerry

I don’t know when it started

At first it was a thought

Then I blushed it off

I wanted to have more faith in you

I thought maybe you were different

But then I got disappointed

It wasn’t you

But the timing made it a sign

It was selfish sure

But I’ve always believed in,

“Better safe than sorry”

If first it was for protection

But now?

Maybe it’s just not for me…

    The vagueness in this poem promotes curiosity and interest maintaining the readers attention. It is obvious it pertains to the relationship and is important that the continuation of the relationship depends in some way upon this. There is disappointment and a need for realignment. The lack of resolution keeps the poem in mind. Nicely done

      There’s something beautiful about having your words read, but something even more beautiful about having them understood. Thank you for always taking the time to find meaning in mine!!

        So kind a thing to say it is my pleasure to read your verses

        Not sure if this is once bitten twice shy.
        Maybe past relationships are coming back to haunt you and the only way is to cut ties.

          You’re right. Sometimes letting go is the best solution
