Hostage You sit there, staring at me With empty eyes The love has run out of them “You can't keep me here forever, We can't stay here forever, You eventually have to let me go, You can't hold them off forever.” You're right I know this, But if I hold out a little longer… “You'll always want a little longer, Just let me go and it'll be ok…eventually.” I give in, I untie you, I release you, And as you leave, they start to rush in And I'm left there alone in silent chaos That's when I realize why I held you there And as I watch you happily embracing Your significant other I also realize why I could no longer keep you Hostage © Seductive Poetry

We Wrote Poetry We wrote poetry about each other before we met. Poems about love and the person we'd share it with. Poem of forever lasting love. Poems of the desolation in losing them and the unspeakable pain in the aftermath. We wrote poetry to each other and for each other. Poems about our love and our lust. Poems about our life and the light we provided each other. Poems about the unconditional nature of what we shared between us. We wrote poetry, some in ink on pages and some in places no one else but us could read. Poems that will never be forgotten as the muse who inspired the words. We wrote poetry, once upon a dream. © Seductive Poetry

Please Don't Forget Me Pleading from across a burning bridge Letting go of forever seems to take that long Every word left unspoken is haunting me All promises left broken are chains I bear Starting over now seems like a fantasy Every moment now seems like an eternity Do I ever cross your mind in your new life? Only time you don't is when I'm asleep No remedy for this in sight There's no hope for recovery Forever was a dream we shared Others doubted the validity Regret is now my only bed partner Grief, my lullaby that hardly lets me sleep Every thought laced with your disappointment Too late to fix what's broken, only pieces left My biggest downfall was letting you down Every time I close my eyes, it's you I see © Seductive Poetry
