UNEQUAL PARTNERS
by Paul Curtis Why do you hold back? Why can't you go all the way? "I love you" those are the words That I want to hear you say Don't be half hearted I need you one hundred percent I don't want you to be unsure I want you to be content You have to be sure Content as I am in my choice But you are not are you? I can hear it in your voice You don't feel the same as I I don't make your pulse race Or your heart skip a beat I'm right; I can see it on your face Love isn't a one-way street It has to flow both ways But it isn't flowing to me Not even on the best of days Then it's over and done I won't have half measures It has to be all or nothing Not just the pleasures I need to be "the one" I won't be your second best I won't invest my love With no prospect of interest It's sad when love ends And a couple have to part But I only feel regret That I never reached your heart I am a fifty something family man with a passion for writing and I draw inspiration from those around me. paul.curtis1956 @ btinternet.com http://www.dreamagic.com/poetry/poetry.html http://www.peculiar-poetry.com/ Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
