A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP

Love.
No - hate
seethes deeply.
As indifference
you displayed
towards my rushing fingers,
my yearning for
your essence.
You refused me
your light.

Betrayal!
Like an unexpected
crash
you left.
Your absence
now filled by another,
not as able to respond,
not fulfilling my wants.
not complying to commands.
Damned frustration!

Resignation.
I endure.
Waiting desperation.
Hopeful indignation.
I dream dreams
of your returning
of our connection resuming
as we travel into space.

Forgiveness.
Once returned
Your flaws forgotten.
The room again you'll brighten.
We'll click our song once more.
Until perhaps...
your light
again goes dim.
Then, with no thought
no hesitation,
You'll be forever
discarded.

My laptop has been in the shop for some time now. Don't know if it will survive and we will click again. Meantime, I'm working on this old dinosaur. Damned frustration!!! My husband's laptop? - being fixed too. Ugh!!!

  1. This is so cool! I could never write something like this about a lap top. Maybe. I should try. I'm always so literal, I want to bust out of that! Thanks so much for sharing!

  8. I hear you! I know the frustration--with the love of my life. Technology here has been pretty reliable (knock wood). It's the flesh and blood that frazzles me. Your poem hit me on many levels. Made me realize my heart is bigger than I want to admit. Thank you.
