Oh the vunerabilities of we mortals... <br />Influenced by the way the changeable wind blows... <br />Hurt to the core by the closing of my friends doors... <br />Oh so hurt-by the New York Rose; <br /> <br />From pictures in the Scrap Book of friends... <br />One day you're there-next your picture is gone... <br />Pushed to the back of your Friendship Album--- <br />Wondering-always wondering- what went wrong; <br /> <br />Being challenged physically and emotionally daily... <br />To the victor so go the spoils? <br />The Worlds Palm Tree emerges quite bedraggled... <br />Grown in Brooklyns un-fertile soil? ; <br /> <br />Upper Eastside relevations...! ! ! <br />Leaning near old Spanish town...! ! ! <br />Harlems aspirations redefines my own reality...! ! ! <br />I'm looking up to heaven but with tears of a clown; <br /> <br />We are each given the gift of faith and acceptance... <br />And our open ability to share our love... <br />In desperation when learning of being betrayed... <br />I plead and pray to my God up above; <br /> <br />For answers-so many answers... <br />As to their real reasons why...! ! ! <br />Were our relationships just a masqurade of pretence-a means to an end? <br />For so easily-much too easily came the goodbyes; <br /> <br /> <br />June 14,2010<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-ll-never-understand-3/
