There's Been Better Days Curious
when i read of the way she writes
it's like a slap to the face
seeing of her love for him
brings me to a place
where reality pushes fantasy away
left alone, bittersweet memories
unable to conjure up
the way i want things to be
dreams dashed in a flash
no longer to pretend
that i'm the one she wants
that i'm the one she needs
so easy in the world of make believe
to fall into that trap
of seeing what you want to see
ignoring hard core facts
make everything come out rosey
the way you want it to be
lord i have to tell you
i hate this fucking reality

"Caught me a little off gaurd with the rhyming there at the end. Perhaps those few lines deserve their own stanza. What the hell do I know though, It's your poem" -- kwilt.
"this is a little bitter ,like the ending ,but somewhere you got to find some happy endings. have a great evening" -- fh, canada.
"bitter, sad, whatever, this was written a couple years ago and i'm just getting stuff i had deleted back up. i probably sould explain about the old ones i guess. thanks for looking though." -- curious.
""Reality pushes fantasy away"... know that feeling all too well. Nice read Curious... great job :)" -- Just A Girl, Oakland Park, Florida.
"nice to hear from you JAG, funny how things work here, i use to go by just a guy but changed names a year or so ago. looked for your stuff to re-read it but couldn't find it, guess u removed the posts, too bad, i even remember the night they appeared as i thought u were someone else, a bad case of wishful thinking. in any event, i do seem to remember i liked your writing." -- curious.
"I didn't remove anything, it should still be there :) Try searching under a title name, try "The One Who Meant It". Why did you change your name? I remember reading your work... at that time I was using "Just Jenn"." -- Just A Girl, Oakland Park, Florida.
"To the point! I like it! Reality and the truth both suck and hurt at the same time (sometimes)." -- Green Emerald.
"Well Curious, it's been a while since we've spoken. I never cease to be amazed at your writings :) even if they are old stuff :) -C" -- Chloe.
