I skirt the perimeter <br />Biding my time, <br />Walking on eggshells, <br />Avoiding the crime <br />Of caring too deeply - <br /> <br />I don't understand <br />This one sided affair, <br />I give you my all <br />But you're barely there - <br />What's the point? <br /> <br />Sometimes I wonder <br />Why I pursue <br />This fantasy life <br />I've chosen with you - <br />I keep trying...... <br /> <br />To keep you amused, <br />I long for your touch, <br />I try to be patient <br />Not give you too much <br />Or push you away; <br /> <br />But now you are distant <br />Your words aren't the same, <br />I think you've grown tired <br />Of playing this game, <br />Your coolness I feel; <br /> <br />As I contemplate black holes <br />And things that fall in, <br />No chance for retrieval <br />Of all that has been................ <br />You're not coming back.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/navigating-the-black-hole/
