Me versus You

by  • 

Me versus You

Love is a thing of beauty
Given unconditionally 
with the hope it be treasured 

   Love is not a weapon
   kept in an arsenal
   and brought out in time of war 


Words are shared delicately
In kindness and in the hope
of reciprocity

   Words spoken from a heart
   may not be thrown back
   in anger


Promises are the view into a future
Shared with another in a
commitment of love

   Promises made are to be kept
   and cannot be taken back
   in spite


My white is your black
The chasm between us filled grey 
where we are stuck in muddied indifference

   You are beyond my outstretched hand
   Pretending you don’t see me
   My end is your beginning

      Thank you Dwight 😧 those lines apply to any situation. We should be kind to everyone, not only in our relationships. I appreciate your words very much. Thank you

    So descriptive and sadly, often true. Well written Christine!

    A broken world when it happens. I specially like this part:

    My white is your black
    The chasm between us filled grey
    where we are stuck in muddied indifference
