-Wanting to love me but the signs point to “No”-
Nathan Coopwood 1978 (San Pedro, California)
You know the stakes and I’m well-versed too.
Never ceasing to amaze yet never pulling through.
Leaving you with questions, I struggle to reply.
Things are hard for me, I think you know why.
Not knowing the outcome makes me nauseous.
The writing is on the wall, can’t blame you for being cautious.
I scream out your name, yet cannot be heard.
Feeling are mixed, I’m continuously stirred.
About this poem
I wrote this poem because it seems like, in relationships, timing is everything and I am either too early or too late.
