And sometimes I pull away from the cord that connects us
I seek you in others when you've granted me a direct line of communication
And when I dont find you in other mediums, I get annoyed because no one will ever fill me the way you do
I think that just because it takes a while to reach you,
I can get my fill somewhere else
But that's not how you established our connection.
That's not how you want it.
You want me bare when approaching you, stripped of every thing that attempts to keep me veiled.
You want my all and not mere fragments
Sometimes, I wonder why you want me so close;
Why you keep me tethered
But then I remember the days I didn't have you;
Days when alone, I sought comfort in any and every thing other than the One who satisfies
And I know that no matter how frustrating, time-consuming and nerve-wracking it may be,
You're not bothered by these things
I decide:
I'll always want you close
I'll always want you to keep me tethered.
My attempt at poetry… how did I do? I wrote this a while back and have decided to share it today… I hope it blesses you and you get the meaning of what I tried to express.
I'd love to hear from you, so please leave a comment and if you're not aware, I have a full length novel that's been out since last year… this is for all of you who've been asking me for serialized stories (I've not forgotten about you), but before then, you can grab the signed copy or e-copy of Redeemed and if you have any questions, send me a message and I'll do well to answer you, provided school gives me the time.
Your poem was lovely 🥰
Uche My girl I live for your writing, YOU'RE REALLY GOOD
