Starting out as perfect can be,one was happy while the other was mad.
things were complicated and things got worse
but every time they went back to being normal.
As the time passed on and things got hard,
one was happy while the other was mad.
“I love you” seemed like it was enough but in the end
that did not commend.
Punch after punch and lie after lie,
one went back for the perfect mirage.
Maybe things will be different.
Maybe things will change.
All they wanted was to be whole again.
Worrying and stressing kept one awake,
Partying and cheating kept the other awake.
“What went wrong” one would deliberate
“Who’s next” one would trumpet.
Having had enough one went to the bathroom
deep wounds and velvet red streams engaged.
Coming to see the other half, they finally found, who was supposed to be
the love of their life, pale and serene
“I’m sorry and I love you” were the one’s last words
Starting out as perfect can be,
ended with nothing can be.
Hi Melissa!
ReplyDeleteI like your poem "The End" because I believe it can speak to so many people who really try to make things work and, this can be for a relationship or for anything else that is important to us and carries our hearts. When things don't go the way we hope for, it can be painful and disappointing and, I like the way you structured this poem. Basically, your poem is almost a narrative poem with a beginning and an end. Similarly, our lifes seem to carry that same structure. Good job on the poem!
