You & I -Poem-

[PainterOfWords]

I was confused,
and I was conflicted.
It’s amazing how such beautiful things
can cause so much invisible hurt.

I wanted you to know,
that before everything started,
I was an innocent girl.

How time has changed things
between us.
But I always used to sing
songs of joy,
and I’d never let my words
linger.
I wish I could tell you
so that you would know.
But I’m just so afraid
of who
You and I
will become.

I daresay forum users would be open to engaging with your poems, PainterOfWords, but most folk here do not respond well to excessive serial posting.

Twenty-one successive shares is way too much. Slow down.

My apologizes, Grant! I just joined yesterday... I'll keep that in mind for future reference. Thank you for calling me out on that, now I know

Agreeing with Grant, but would also like to add that I like many of the poems you have posted, PainterOfWords . Yet, just as Grant mentioned, I cannot possible provide a meaningful reply to all of them shared in such a short amount of time. Generally, try to share 1-2 poems a day and you will find that many will gladly participate in discussing them.

I'm glad you like them... but my apologies for the spam, I didn't realize! Thank you for your suggestion... I'll stay within that range.

This is well done, PoW! It flows well which helped me feel the internal confusion of the narrator. I hope to read some of your other poems, but as said above, not all at once.

Aha, thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Yes... please forgive me, I'll make sure to post a couple times a day, if less. Thank you for your feedback

PainterOfWords this is the first of your poems that I have read. I especially like:
But I always used to sing
songs of joy,
and I’d never let my words
linger.
