Commitment.

by Phoenix ¥   May 11, 2018


You could give me your friendship,
You could give me your time,
You could give me your body
As I gave you mine.

You could give me your love
You could give me your care
Is that not enough?
No I can’t leave it there.

Can’t stop thinking about the choice you made.
And what that says about us.
I think it probably says it all,
It never really was.

You see to me it all makes sense,
I wouldn’t have been resistant.
But you saw things differently
You wouldn’t show me that commitment.

    A really good write, it seems rare to find two in the same place in a relationship.

      Thanks William and I agree it’s an extremely rare phenomenon and usually fleeting in my experience.
