In the Long Run
Like kissing a train
Going down the tracks
Or catching a falling knife
So is the world with you
Danger wherever I look
Sometimes in fear for my life
Jump on the bandwagon
Or continue to boredom
What is life if not lived?
Dull and predictable
Lonely and missing
Better to be alive than dead
Your energy inspiring
Exciting and contagious
A miracle in the making
Getting into character
Each day is live theater
A slice of life for the taking
Adrenalin junkie
I’m not sure that I am
Just a need to be at your side
No matter the weather
We are better together
I’m along for the ride
Flying up to the high
Hanging on to your coat tails
And turning on a dime
Sharing your crazy world
Better or worse
Leaving would be a crime

Always a fascinating read when I visit your blog Christine. Your poem speaks of emotions that I recognize but you put it into words and express it all so clearly.
Thank you Hélène 🙂💕 I appreciate your kind words
You are welcome Christine.
Christine, I really do love this poem. You’ve got such great imagery and the conflict between the speaker’s emotions is clear and evident throughout.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback 💕🙂
