FORCED

CREATIVE POETRY TO INSPIRE OTHERS

FORCED



getting it off my chest

         no better than the rest.

yet chosen

         to be with me

was it arrogance or agreed.

given an open door

         for pity.

my needs unimportant…

so I searched elsewhere.

ending with same solution

         choose Love or emptiness

right or wrong…

         forced too long.

told you were last choice

         against all inside

said yes

said no to happiness.

many nights I cried

         faced with lies.

forced letting go

         Knowing all along

we wouldn’t last…

         I apologize for my part.

could have saved

         heartache and time

never meant to be mine.

needed protection

         you couldn’t provide.

no need for goodbyes.
