A poem that deals with one of life's rude awakenings.

It takes some time to REALLY know someone.

It's always a big risk that emotional investment
we need to make in someone we choose to get involved
with in the sense of a deep or committed relationship.

Yet, the sadness doesn't really come from the
enlightenment. Instead it draws up slowly in
the one who cannot find the courage to break
the chains and move on even after the truth
is loud and unavoidable.

Always something to dig into in your poetry Willow.

For a time when I was younger I was that guy who
put on a show so I can relate to this from both
sides of the fence. That's about as honest as
I can get. The changing for me came after I lost
someone in my life that I truly loved because of
my own foolish charades.

Life is a learning experience and those that choose
to learn will prosper. Those that continue on the
wayward path will never reap the great benefits and
rewards that love can bring to us all.

Enjoyed this on two levels and from two sides.

thanks,
andy

Hi Andy,
All that you say is so true. There is so much to learn about loving oneself enough to break free, and on the other side . . . enough not to need to abuse or use another.
Thank God, some of us learn and grow through these experiences.
I admire your honest reflections and wonderful input on the subject of my poem. You are one who learns life's lessons and that's why you can write the beautiful poetry you write. It comes from really learning to be human, doesn't it?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Hugs,
wilo
