Answer Me


I have been played
And made the fool.
It isn’t fun,
So not cool.

You had a laugh?
At my expense.
Run and hide,
Your best defense.

Cowards run,
Afraid to talk.
Never show their cards.
Or walk the walk.

Is it so hard to say?
I have asked before.
There is nothing else I want.
No, nothing more.

What is holding you back
How can you have fears
Answer me now,
After all these years.

When you finally answer,
Don’t be surprised.
That it is all over,
All that’s left is despised.

Best times remembered,
Never to forget.
But what does it matter,
It’s all part of the debt.

I won’t repay
It’s now or never
I won’t replay.
Is it time to sever?

The time is close,
You’ve had your chance.
I’m ready to turn
Without a second glance.

Aren't all relationships "trouble" from time to time? I write what I know but sometimes the poems take a life of their own. Often they are a mix of different "events" and different peoples experiences.

Poetic license at its best.
