Dispossessed

A fine balance!

 

Dispossessed

 

I was stealing your wrong

When you said you wanted to stay with me…

I was stealing your right

When you said you wanted to walk away…

 

I want right and wrong, both, you possess

No matter what – you’ve stayed or gone

To see how much those are

Balanced with my

Wrong or right!

Author's Note

A fine Balance is what is required to maintain the tapestry of love, I believe. We love, hate, fight, forget, and seek. What we need the most is to balance thoughts that could make us say that, "yes we are not despising ourselves in love. We have self-respects, and we know how to value others'.

This is so beautifully expressed, offering the true freedom to love fully in a relationship. Your glimpses give us insights into that balance of love and connection. So wonderfully written, with a depth of feeling shared.

You're so right, yes, we need balance in a loving relationship.. we need to understand ourselves and the other person.. giving, sharing..

You have a real way with words, they're always so beautifully put. This poem is short but it says so much, I truly appreciate that ..

' was stealing your right ~ When you said you wanted to walk away�' that implies you wanted to take away the other person's right to walk away, but, control is not part of loving.

There's a saying that if someone flies away and comes back, that person will stay forever.. one can only hope.
