Nagging Doubts A Poem


I got in one of those
Moods again
Where the nagging doubts
Held free reign,
I wonder if this shows I am
Sane or insane.
I know that they curb
My enthusiasm in drastic ways.

You see I had said yes
To meet a man
I really had an interest
But then when the time
Came closer
I had a change of heart.
Or rather my mind
Starting listening to
The negatives and cons
Of the situation.

He was still attached to someone
He was moving away from the area
Not too long from now
His style was so self confident
Whereas I was the opposite
My confidence nearly nonexistent.

I let him know a lot
About myself
Including my illnesses
He didn't judge that
But I know sooner
Or later
He would begin
To think negative.
How could he not?

It's true he could have
Been a coach
As that had been
Something he had done
Throughout his life
He could even understand
My illnesses
As they also had affected his family.

So while I said yes to meeting
The nagging doubts
Made an entrance.
They did the work
Of my sister
And a therapist.
As both would have told me
That this man was not
A good fit
As he was still attached
And moving away
And sounded like he
Thought he knew it all
Suffice it to say
Some would call that arrogance.
I did mention he possessed
Self confidence.

He probably thinks I am a tease
That I am just playing games
He can think as he may please
But I know what is good
For me ultimately
And it is not someone
Who exemplifies the list
Of negatives I had mentioned.

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

Your hope lies on the 5 th verse
- and your hanged man , on the 6th...
But does one cross the other ?

Cheers my lady, whatever you choose from these Tarot cards

Nagging doubts means you
won't have a month or two
of" What was I thinking!"
Distracting you from other
possible suitors.

Cunning man vowed to wife
often lose place in one track mind
left forever to remember real
meaning of suave and de-bonnered!

Using more than all the road!

It is a shame that you never got to experience a little fun time with this guy but you know yourself and were dead right to cancel if it didn't seem right. Why get involved with someone who is unavailable and moving away? Good call!!

You'd be happier with a single man.
One with no ties or many tragedies.
Find one that's right. I know you can.
Just make sure he stays but not flees.
