Another Unsettled Heart

A poem inspired by a conversation with my most recent ex. Although it was nice talking to him, there was unresolved questions and tensions, seemingly only inside myself...

 

Isn’t it nice, how we can talk to each other again?

I used to call you lover, but instead I call you friend

 

Isn’t it nice hearing us laugh again?

Instead of yelling at each other, at some forgotten fiend

 

Isn’t it nice now, knowing we’re both at peace?

I still loved you but I could tell you were aching to be released

 

Isn’t it nice to think I loved you enough to let go?

You saw me withering away right under your nose

And you did nothing.

 

Isn't it nice, too be forgiven without apologizing?

Perhaps I am the fool, for not realizing 

That underneath, there no was more to show

Than another broken pendulum, another unsettled heart.

Author's Note

fiend is pronounced fee-end not feend. I don't know how to change it to appear so.

Also, I didn't draw the picture, I swear. I just found it online :)

This work starts off so strong. I read it and know I am reading the work of talent. yet the ending sorta fell apart. I truly did not know what you were trying to convey at the very end. This is one thing that I thought of when I read...I hope this is not totally making you mad...

Isn't it nice now, knowing we're both at peace
I still love you but I could tell you weren't happy anymore

Isn't it nice now, knowing we're both at peace
I still love you but I could tell you were aching to be released.


The poem is off to a good start, and that is great since you clearly have the talent to bring the end on home. Thanks for sharing, t.
