Impossible

You say, these ropes between us are unbreakable

I have a sword.

You say, I don't understand you

I've read all the books in your library.

You say, I don't value you enough

I just think about you all the time.

You say, I don't make time for you

You don't call if I don't.

But I understand,

You just don't want me.

I'll never be good enough for a heart doesn't have a beat for me.

"Impossible" is a poetic testament to the complexities of communication and understanding within relationships, Dorian. The imagery of the unbreakable ropes and the sword represents the struggle to cut through misunderstandings and reveal the truth of one's feelings. The contrast of the speaker's perception versus the perceived reality is a poignant portrayal of the often unbridgeable gap in how we see ourselves and how others perceive us.

The reference to the library is a clever metaphor for the depth of knowledge one can have about a person, yet still be unable to comprehend their innermost thoughts and desires. The frustration of unreturned calls and the pain of feeling undervalued resonate deeply, creating a powerful emotional tug. The final line is particularly heart-wrenching, encapsulating the ultimate realization that sometimes, no matter what we do, we cannot win the affection of someone whose heart does not naturally incline towards us.

This is a super comment! Thank you for understanding my lines and explaining them. I like it when someone talks about my poems with details. Appreciate it.

Thank you Alice.

Of course!

Those words certainly give a signal that the relationship is one--sided at least in someone's mind.....I would say things aren't working out so well....and negativity like those words is not a good sign....I feel for the one who gives everything and is not appreciated and loved. very emotional....nice work!!
Warmly, B

[Dorian]

Yeah, that's definitely not a good sign, and sometimes it takes a while for my heart to accept what my head already knows. Thank you.

Unrequited love is the infinite curse of a lonely heart; but it teaches one the depth of one’s own heart. Tough, painful lesson to learn �™
Nice piece of writing dear poet.

[Dorian]

This is very well expressed, thank you.

'It is easy to love, but the hard part is keeping it up alive throughout '.

With time, everything gets its clarity, whether it's love or hatred.Once you love someone, you truly can't unlove them.And once, you hate someone, loving them becomes the hardest.
Whether is love or hatred, none can be forced.But it is indeed a rarity, to love someone purely, and get the same intesity of love back :)

People with good intentions, suffer the most, in our world today, and it is both ironic and tragic.


I love the ending of your poem the most:
"I'll ......me".
Very true!😊

Keep up the good work comming!
All the best & happy writing to you.

[Dorian]

I think you can stop loving someone you love. but.
I paid great attention to everything you said and read it carefully. I was blown away by your thoughtful comments on my poem.

It's nice to have someone talking about what I write. I will read your poems soon.
Thank you, take care!
