If it be

you owe me an apology
you owe me better
you owe me promises and dreams
you owe me the sun and the moon
you owe me better
 
i haven't given up on us
but i'm holding out
for better

Mike Bayles Date: 8/2/2024 7:25:00 AM I like the feelings conveyed by the speaker of the poem, a touch of anger. There is a good sense of bargaining and pleading. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 9/15/2024 1:26:00 PM Yes, thanks, Mike ~ much appreciated

Gary Radice Date: 7/27/2024 2:22:00 AM I like your poem’s ambiguity; are you directing your words to a person who has perhaps wronged you in a relationship or indeed life itself? Great to read you back at The Soup Line. The tureen has leaked much talent recently. Cheers - Gary Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 9/15/2024 1:27:00 PM Hi Gary ! thanks for your visit and comment. I'm busy particularly preoccupied these days ~
