| This is another of the poems that I wrote during my first long distance relationship. This was a relationship which presented unique problems which were often on my mind. Thus, this poem was written. |
|
| Why is Fate so cruel |
| that it fills me with Desire, |
| to crush my Hopes so quickly |
| and toss them to the fire? |
| My Love is like a river |
| running deep within my soul, |
| and the feelings that befall her |
| I feel as if mine own. |
| I wonder when she's Happy |
| why it is that I'm so Sad, |
| because I can not share it |
| or be in the place of Thad. |
| Why is Fate so cruel |
| that I hear of fun times past, |
| but yet I can not share them |
| until her sentence is passed? |
| Her friends do so enjoy her |
| and bask in her aurora, |
| but I am left secluded |
| and miles from her Adore. |
| Lucky, are the ones |
| that are with her everyday, |
| what I wouldn't do |
| to be with her in that way. |
| Why is Fate so cruel |
| that it sometimes lets me near her, |
| but lets me get no closer |
| than to an image in a mirror? |
| How Painful it is to see her, |
| standing there so near me, |
| to know I can not be there |
| to hold her to me dearly. |
| When we try to be together |
| to share in our Romance, |
| Rules and Laws do try to stop us |
| and toss us to mere Chance. |
| Why is Fate so cruel |
| that I always can recall, |
| the times we've shared together |
| when I have her on a call? |
| The feelings brew inside me |
| like a violent tropic storm, |
| and I need her to be with me |
| to keep my body warm. |
| The flooding of the memories |
| make me feel like I am dying, |
| and it takes all within me |
| to keep myself from crying. |
| And so, I sit and ponder |
| the things which have been done, |
| and often times I wonder |
| when I'll say, "I think I've won!" |
| Our feelings when together |
| are only part of the Love we share, |
| but still, the other part within me |
| would like to have her there. |
| And so, I sit here wondering |
| and feeling like a fool, |
| but still, I continue pondering, |
| "Why is Fate so cruel?" |
