Squandered
what a great opportunity to make memories to bond to rediscover reconnect reignite yet here I sit alone by choice wishing to bond with those who aren't here while ignoring those who are and wondering what is wrong with my love that it sits cold and unmoved by mate or offspring even while phrases of song can catch my heart reminding me of something intangible that perhaps only exists in my imagination and I worry that I am probably building a wall of tiny missed moments that will be cemented together with regret

Zinnnnnnnng! Your aim is true BT. I could have just as easily, but not so well, written these words about myself. I try not to beat myself up about my perceived disconnections but rather do something to connect. Relationships take hard work and for me it's so much easier to insulate myself in my writing. You write so beautifully about true life I venture that you're more connected than you realize. Bravisima!

Yes, beating myself up about things is my specialty..... and you're right; I should stop.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and support!

I really like the lack of punctuation here. It was like a fury of thought. The lack of structure adds a human element that some poems are lacking. Beyond that the fear you describe I can relate to. I read this a few times and liked it more each time.. I really feel what you are saying and beyond that you said it in a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing :)

Wow, thank you! A "fury of thought" is really exactly what it was....and since I'm pecking the words out with one finger on a cell phone miles from home, I opted for no punctuation or line breaks and almost no editing. :) I really just needed to spill what was on my mind; I'm so glad someone was able to connect with it, because I came close to deleting it a few minutes later. Thanks again for your kind words!
