Vultures and Doubt
I was so happy
I was so excited
I couldn't wait for the future
To see what we would be
But one person
Planted a seed
And doubt started to grow
But how do I tell you
How do I tell you
That I love you
But I'm scared it wont last
How do I tell you
I know you are faithful
But I have people telling me
You might not always be
Because there will always be someone
Who is smarter
And more beautiful
Than me
Not getting to see you
Being so far away
Is already so hard
So why do vultures come in
Tearing my mind apart
And leaving their seeds
In the chaos they create
I want so badly
To be with you
But will they allow us
To figure this out on our own
With out the vultures and doubt

- Comment from author about the poem: My boyfriend and I have only been together for a few weeks. however he has been my best friend for the past six years. In may of this year (2017) he left for boot camp, its been almost 7 months that I haven't seen him. I know that it is not easy being an army girlfriend let alone in a biracial relationship but I love him and I am willing to work through it. The hardest part is when others ask me if I am prepared for it if I am strong enough. I don't doubt my feelings for him or his feelings for me. What I do doubt however is how strong the future is. It is always changing and never certain of anything. Will our love be stronger than this world we live in?

HI JESSE ~ Love the pathos and angst in your Poem ~ it is a real dilemma. It is something I have experienced ~ the Pain when you Lover departs for a while and the "Vultures" sow doubts in your mind ! I've never bee engaged or married so I am talking GIRL FRIENDS I have had who have had to go away for a period. I most cases "Absence made our Hearts grow fonder" but in one case She never came back ! I have friends who are BIRACIAL couples and the "Vultures" can be more snidey about them ! Thinking of you ~ Every Blessing for the future ~ BRIAN (UK) Please check my Poems ~ Thanks B.
