Poem Commentary

What can I say jealousy sucks, the economy sucks, and we need more bucks.  I hate feeling this way.  Just been sick along time and its been a long day.  Hope you can relate.

Love from a distance

Souls so far apart
spirits so close,
it's breaking my heart,
makes me need another dose.

Voyeur secrets it is, that i hate.
Sneaking, and peaking like you do.
Your so often late,
makes me wonder with who.

You incist you only work,
yet online matches there you are,
guess the internet's a perk,
when your layin tar?

No tenderness in your touch,
no compassion for my tears.
I think you don't miss me much,
after 23 years.

Money you say,
that's the problem you see.
Say what you may,
but kisses and hugs are free.

We grow farther apart,
the verbal blows are too low.
I'd leave if i was smart,
and have nothing to show.

Indecision freezes us in our tracks.
The pattern is worn into a rut.
On our son, we can't turn our backs,
so the doors stay shut.

Our hearts reach out to others,
for friendship and comfort to help.
We'd stay if we had our druthers,
but love can't stay on the shelf
.

I don't know what else to write,
it's been a really long fight.
I dont know what to do,
I don't feel the love
and neither do you.

Never a joyful ending with the trail's end in sight and it's not a homecoming... This sad story is becoming all too common in these new wave days of high speed connections on the internet and less heartfelt connections in the home... There was a time, when families meant something... They spent no time on the internet, very little on tv, and I know it sounds odd for today's culture, but I thought it was a nice thing when everyone gathered together, just to listen to a radio show... Nice write...

i really dont like love/broken heart poems but this is actually pretty good. im going to have a kid and it makes me worried to think what would happen if her and i broke up or whatever. i like the stress on happinness and the simple things as opposed to fucking money. great write :)
