A question never meant for you
still feilds the volley of answers
your random actions direct to me
teasing the force you have on me
disrupting the balance of words;
Identical to the fears you host,
I swim in the pools of my doubt,
trusted forces create this curtain;
You say time always win over love
I wonder if there was any between us;
Dual thoughts with just one solution
Cease to be mine.I was never yours.
Prompted @ 3WW , Submitted also to Poets Rally
Painful and sad with very decisive thoughts 😛
Beautifully written 😀 😀
Oh yes ! Decision must be made well in time 🙂
nice 🙂
Very sad but A very brave decision that leads to going on realizing that you were never theirs.
Its a hard realization ..
Somehow it hit me hard…You made me sit up and think…
face on the wall
Hope the thoughts were not depressing !
thanks for the visit 🙂
Sad words, but beautifully done.
Very hard hitting and direct confrontation with the opposing forces Nimue!!
Ah…love…can’t live with it and can’t live without it.
Thanks.
you know love has ended when you try defining it.
@Nanka , Andy : Isn’t it all a mind game ! you decide , convince and live 🙂
@Prasad , Anthony : Thank You !
love is a fantasy when it comes to online romance,
as I see, a 50 year old woman who lacks confidence could use an 28 year old image to stay attractive, online romance won’t last long, folks either drop out because of the pressure, or quite since it is hard to actually come to face to face.
it is safe to stay professional, you never lose a friend, but you could lose the friendship once you step further…
sad and witty words, best wishes…
Thanks for attending poets rally.
That wasn’t the ending I hoped for. So sad but beautifully written. Choices do have to be made and life goes forward. A new opportunity for love may materialize if your heart is open.
I loved your swimming in the ‘pools of doubt’. Breaking up is hard to do even for the one who causes the hurt. I really liked this. Quick jump back in and change ‘feilds’ for ‘fields’.
The decision to stay in a relationship is just as difficult as the decision to leave. Knowing when to leave shows just as much love as it does courage.
Excellent poem.
I couldn’t agree more…Excellent poem!
i just wwant to cry and say ouch when i read this…
wowit was great!
even though love is the most beautiful feeling it can hurt like anything,
sad yet wonderful write.
Thursday Rally
Wow! That was heartbreaking; beautiful use of the words!
Poignant thoughts, but I could so well relate Ladynimue…
Each one of us has its own set of thoughts, at times happy, more often times sad!!!
Good morning and let happy thoughts flood our hearts and minds today!
Nicely done. Nice expression of pain of love (or what wasn’t love).

Lost in confusion, this soul!
A depth of thought is revealed in this short poem. Rife with emotion.
‘Cease to be mine.’
I love how this sounds — very powerful 🙂
“Cease to be mine.I was never yours.”
it says so much or so little that it takes time for me to fathom..can so relate.. fb status message stuff i tell you
Sad, hard to accept that there might haven’t been love at all. Only thing left, hope for a better one!
Really nicely done and that last line was so powerful!
A tough decision well described (and made) Jae
Oh, it is amazing. I love it!
Truly thought-provoking, Nimue…after several reads, my heart breaks at the contradictory emotions. Your turn of phrase, so nicely done while incorporating the prompt! Great job!!
this is just splendid LN, very beautifully captured feelings and excellent use of the theme words.
very sad post
A classic case of two people thinking two different things, by my reading. Nicely said.

Sometimes we mistake our own love for its reciprocal…
I felt this was a tale of mistaken love.. but was it with a lover, or with an alternate aura to oneself I couldn’t make out. A powerful take..
ouch! Now I am left to ask why wasn’t I yours? Maybe I did not give myself fully, I held back…I dig! 🙂
how is your day?
please find time visiting poets who were here for you but you did not visit yet..
Thanks..
have fun. 🙂
I am saying this to all participants, it is fun when we get this done…
seems to me this weeks poem is centered around sadness in which you and the rest i read seem to convey so well.. lovely write lady.. here’s mine.. http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/wedged/
Sad but sometimes its better to swallow the bitter pill than flagging a dead horse….well written.
Wonderfully handled emotions in this text. It moves one to sadness and provides catharsis to the readers. Great work.
it may be hard to come to a decision like this, but in the end it is for the better !
Happy Rally

“Cease to be mine. I was never yours.” What an excellent ending. The pools of doubt, the constant questioning of self. God, if this isn’t a case of a match made in Hell, what is? But then, how many of us have living through same?
Great work, Nimue. Amy
“swim in the pods of my doubt” … there’s lots in that. A very fine poem.
You are a wonderful writer. I love your work.

I agree with Jamie, “swim in the pools of my doubt” really grabbed me and made me take notice. Beautiful expression of such a sad theme.
