Expectations.

by keepbreathing   Sep 28, 2008


After awhile we start to hear the same things. we pick up patterns and notice how consistant the really are. the consistency leads us to believe that it's stable, and if you wait long enough it'll happen again. but when the consistency is ripped from beneath us, there's nothing we can do but fall. we hear the same things over and over again, not stopping to think. i love you. i've heard it once, i've heard it twice. i expect it to come again. but if it should fall into the blank abyss that grows between us, my world would sink in and i'd drown among the other mr. right nows that have passed me by. well that i love you i was expecting to hear never came. and i'm struggling to stay above the water, and i'm blinded with the water filling up my eyes. here's to you mr. right now. i knew you wouldn't stay. i knew you weren't consistant, but i hoped, i dreamed. but i guess that's all i can do in a world of pretend.

    1. theres more than one type of poem. just because it doesn't have the whole rhyming scheme involved doesn't make it any less of a poem.

    2. way to place judgement and then tell me what audience it should be delievered to. you're not the audience then its not your place to say if it's only alright.

    3. ever think it's not about the way the words are written but the meaning that lies behind them. its not the mistakes rearrange the words making them hard to dephire.

    Three things:

    1. That's not a poem, that's a monologue

    2. It's only an alright monologue, the type delivered at the end of that teenage coming-of-age film that only the girly-girls truly enjoyed and

    3. Spelling mistakes kill you in this

    Hope for the best
