Poem Commentary

An ode to wrong choices and how they affect the life/lives of another/others.

Any Other Way

You sound confused
I missed you too
Where were you
When I felt the blues
Does your heart feel
Is it even in there
Is your face real
Are you well aware

I needed someone
To show me the way
I needed a friend
To prepare me someday
You let me down
Then, said it’s okay
You lost a life that
couldn’t have it any other way


I saw the lies in your web
I never believed in them for a sec
You became the fool
When you chose to neglect
What we could have had
For what you chose to gag
Silently, you try to sleep
Patiently, nightmares compete

I needed someone
To show me the way
I needed a friend
To prepare me someday
You let me down
Then, said it was okay
You lost a life that
couldn’t have it any other way

Can you take it back again
Will you ever make amends
I’ve waited in silence too, too long
If you’re still here, I’ll be gone

There are too many good people out there for us to waste our time on losers. Some people never learn how to treat others, because they are damaged goods...people with baggage. Move on. Great poem.

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
