When someone makes you an offer so good but yet you cannot accept held back by past commitments.


What of it

I could say yes but what of it
Insincerity would encompass
Why, I am confused! Clarity!
But time would answer. Really?
At least that's what they say.
Pah! I know better than that
How long have I been patient
Time creates non but uncertainty

I could say yes but what of it
When I'm pining for love lost
The newness of you a put off
I couldn't try again, but go back.
Ah! You see, still, uncertainty.
And yet many a month passed
Time should have healed me
The treacherous thing - time

I could say yes but what of it
I wouldn't even try, I'm sold
Rather, I was sold, long ago
No dear, not you, but him
And since, what can I say
Contract terms, to love forever
I haven't dared perform breach
Though no longer possessing

Ah! I could say yes but what of it
Would it not be insincere?

Rik The PoetBay support member heart!
always difficult the confusion caused when the heart is looking in a different direction than your eyes. Your poem displays this very well indeed. No real advice apart that no decision made is for ever. Things can look so different: in week, a month, a year.

Yeah, commitments!
Dilemmas, heart breaks,
Hopes, remorse, regrettes...
How many shadows walk with us?
And we don't know?
Yes, one could say, yes!
But...
