    Competition

    I only wish I could compete,

    That I even had the same

    Apparatus and appeal.

    I am a world apart from

    Your one and only love,

    The three lettered bane

    Of my understated self.

     

    I know that reality has been

    Dulled by the reflection

    Of her perfection on your

    Face,

    But I long to possess a sliver

    A shard of that mirror,

    Which is a window to your soul.

     

    There was a time when

    Time stood still,

    When there was a chance

    For you and I.

    The past is ever present

    In my memories of ‘we’

    Forgotten in the haze of your addiction.

     

    Remember the days we danced

    Together beneath the moon,

    Basked in the sweet innocence

    Of love’s sweet glow,

    Is all we shared side by side

    Erased from yourself?

    Should I fight to fight or

    succumb and surrender?

    Thank you so very much for taking the time to read an comment! I am glad you enjoyed it, it was written when I was in a strange mood... :) Narrator

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
