So before I get started I just have to say that Goodreads always messes up the formatting of my blog posts, so it is better to view my blog on the actual URL which is freyathefrypan.blogspot.com rather than the embedded blog on Goodreads.
Anyway here it goes. This poem is called "sometimes."
Sometimes
i can only think in absolutes
i can only jump to the extremes
i can only see the world in terms of good and evil
two opposing forces underlying reality
and when i try to see the grays
it strains my dull mind
it exerts me to my limit
it tortures me
so when you said you would leave
i erased your memory
committed it to the flames
so that it wouldn't hurt
but it makes my poor mind scream inside
and my heart shatters
to know that you are not completely gone
you are neither here...
... nor there
I am begging you to either leave or stay because my mind can't understand the mixed feelings. My mind can comprehend the words "forever" and "never" but when you introduce "sometimes," my world falls apart.
