Strangled Love



Life has reached
a perfect stalemate,
with my never ending attempts
to create my perfect mate.

I said I loved you,
but I lacked strength or faith….
to accept you as you are,
and give you some space….
... where you could breathe,
hangout with your buddies ,
and do things you like…
and live with no worries!!

My decisions were self centered,
I often hurt you,
Blind in love, I denied you freedom…
to be the ‘real’ you!

The man of my dreams
… I saw in you,
I loved someday,
was now lost in my likes and dislikes!

You were with me,
but no more the one I fell in love with…
You were the conditioned soul
who gave into my every wish!
You felt less like love
and more like a possession!

The closed mind!

You smile at me
and I don't,
imagining things
that are non-existent!
But your love is strong
and you ... persistent!

You walk to me,
as I walk away!
You stick around
though I refuse to stay!

You make me smile
after a while...
as I seem so silly!
