Is it possible to fall victim to the cliches of hopeless romanticism?
It must be, because I'm a victim and I'm getting killed softly.
All I want, depsite my ailing domestic woes, is that feeling,
That feeling that humbles the loudest boast to shy whispers.
I find it intriguing how I can sit and listen to a song about lost love
and realize how much I have taken for granted in past relationships.
However, going against my nature, I didn't blame myself for it
and, yet, I refuse to push this issue further.
My decision has been made, no relationship, no quest to rekindle
the flame, just an attempt to shake these thoughts and move on.
Besides, I could already be in love with a stranger...

wow, that last line really got me. I love your writing.

You write so well =] I like the last line but also

It's all great though.

Thanks a lot.

BTW, I was trying to look at your Xanga but the colors throw me off. So I'm going to just subscribe and catch it in an email. These poems are all in my xanga because my xanga is my poetry journal.

Every thread I've posted in, you have too and your intelligence and politcally awareness really impresses me. I wish there were more beautiful and politically conscious women in this world. Maybe then, I wouldn't be single.

Thank you...for this. It was beautiful. My boyfriend just broke up with me, and it hurts because he keeps saying, "It's not forever". So I keep trying to fix things, but in a way...I think I realized with this I just need to move on, because I can't wait my whole life. And maybe I could love someone else...and not even know it yet.

This was beautiful. It was short, but far from simple. It was just..lovely.

I'm glad that my poetry could benefit someone else other than me. Up until recently, I've been apprehensive about sharing my poetry with others, but if it can result in brightening up someone's day, then share I'll do. I'm glad I could help you and keep your head up.
