If she is your other half

Then what am I?

If she is your lover

Then what am I?

If she is your friend

Then what am I?

If she is your soul mate

Then what am I?

If she is your true love

Than what am I?

If she is your playmate

Then what am I?

If she is your wife

Then what am I?

If she is your life

Then what am I?

If the point of our union

Is solely for play

Than why does it hurt

When you go away?

How can you love me

And hold me so tight

Yet go home to her

And love her at night?

If she's what you want

And truly do need

Then why am I here

With my heart on my sleeve?

I found you finally

What a twist of fate

My true love and soul mate

A few years too late

Don't look too closely

There's a tear in my eye

Cause I know I should ask you

Then what am I?

Posted by Behind_the_Mask 2008-06-05 10:15:32 great It makes you think about what someone thinks about you weather or not it is in that kind of relationship or just a mutual relationship + Report this comment
Posted by alfred 2008-06-05 13:29:09 .... Ok, its obvious your screwing round with someone's husband. You are what you are, that is,, his go to girl, when its convienient. Not sure if this is personal or just a silly poem, but if its the first one out of the two options... you are what you are. + Report this comment

Posted by Flossy 2008-06-05 15:23:23 .... You gotta remember that Alfred is a puppet.Most days he has a hand rammed up his... As always allmine, you write something that lingers and makes me think about something that normally I would'nt.Sad but great work. + Report this comment
Posted by Dirkin 2008-06-05 19:16:53 .... I think the answer to most of the questions posed in this poem is: Naive. To think that hes not stringing the narrator along that is. Its hard when the feeling of meeting your soul mate is involved. Thought provoking poem michelle + Report this comment
Posted by allmine 2008-06-06 08:59:53 .... Gee Alfred, thank you for taking something so profoundly personal and calling me a whore. You know nothing of my relationship with him, you know nothing about what he feels for me or what I feel for him. You know nothing. You simply took my saddened words and twisted them to make me some sort of slut. Yes, I know that the character in this poem is very naive, very sad, very whatever. It is personal to me and it is a message of sort. When I am sad, mad, angry, or upset, it helps me to write down what I am feeling at the moment. I am sure that it is exaggerated in my poetry, but that is poetic license. Love me for my poetry, hate me for my poetry, but don't love or hate me for what you assume is the underlying meaning in my life. Thanks for those who appreciate a good poem for what it is. + Report this comment

Posted by MeredithsMontage 2008-06-10 06:15:50 .... I really like this. This was a very good peom that was well written. Leaves you feeling with the desperation that goes with having no control in a relationship. Seems to be an extension of Cracked Perfection, maybe? Just the man's side maybe? I could be wrongI enjoyed. Not silly as Alfred suggests + Report this comment

Posted by June Eclipsis 2008-06-11 19:30:43 excellent One of the most strongest yet anti-cliche poems I've ever read. It's clear and down to earth, but it encompasses true emotions. + Report this comment
Posted by Zombie Punk 2008-06-12 10:56:09 .... this one is one of my favorites too. awesome wording and dont mind alfed he's another asshole but luckily he isnt on this site anymore + Report this comment
Posted by Amatayo 2008-06-12 17:59:50 What Am I? I have to agree with alfred sorry to say you are nothing more to him then a side line girl. Because if you where the one he loves you would be his wife not some one else. So you may be whole souled to him and the relationship but he is divided. But the poem is nice I'm going to try and write one. + Report this comment
