I’ve become dependent on you
Something I thought I’d never do
But with the things happening in my life
Seems like I need you in order to see the light
I wake up some days happy and ready to go
But a few hours later I’m ready to blow
The whole thing off and just get through the day
And I have never been this way
But without you my world is a shade of gray
Because my joy has floated away
I know this feeling very well… Touches me deep.
Glad you could feel the sentiment

So sad, but true for too many persons.
Very touching words as I empathize on your loss…thank you
for sharing your poem.
Thank you for reading my work
Ideally, we should be able to keep our joy whether someone else is in or out of our lives. But sadly it doesn’t always work out that way. Loved this, Marlee–I can relate.
You said it. I’m glad I am beyond this dependence now. But looking back at it makes me realize just how lost I was
A beautiful masterpiece, words fail me.

Thank you for stopping by
A right relationship is a place to rest and refuel not
hide. Good work. Please share more.
I like the way you put that “rest and refuel” a true refuge. That’s for reading
Painful…. but very very well written!
Thank you. I struggled with this one. Glad you enjoyed it
aw, i feel your words, too.
this really resonates for me, it’s a struggle.
i like that you have written it literally, not as metaphor.
you just said it.
Thank you! I am best as a realist, I get lost in metaphors and then my message isn’t received properly. Thanks for appreciating the literal aspect of this piece.
touching… loved you you have expressed the emotions… raw yet beautiful

The poem is so revealing of human tendencies and weknesses. Frailty, and yet the strength of love and attachement and the pull they have on us.
Alas, the mysteries of life.
Yours sincerely,
Philharmonic poet.
Health and happiness to you and yours.
It is a wonder how that person who can make us happy can hurt us in the most painful way – all at the same time.
I love it.

this is really deep felt. Thanks for sharing.
Love and Light
Happy Tuesday, return favor to those poets who are here yet you did not reach them initially…
I am saying these to all poets, hope that you take it rationally…
thanks for the support.
Oh my, I can really relate to this. I’m in the honeymoon stages of love, and I have to admit that I have become emotionally dependent. Something I thought I’d never do either, but it couldn’t be helped.
Oh, been there.
Nicely wrought poem, Marlee-I. Well thought out.
ah, i know this too…been there and done that…painful…very aptly put…i hope writing this made you feel better 🙂

Someone is Special
how is it that I never commented on this piece? IDK but love it!
In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your
path. The Lord God is our light and our salvation, on him we
can depend and never worry. The struggle continues daily.
