Your Lack Of A Kindred Spirit A Poem

It is like you punched
in the gut.
It was not actual
My mind made
The leap to pain.
Along with
The accompanying wince.
I tried hard
Not to have tears
Stream down my .
I had to stop them
Which I barely did.
But I was all alone
So I am not sure
I truly had
To make the effort.
Or be so brave.

I know my failings.
I practically broadcast them
Then you tell
I should have saved my breath.
I should not have such regrets.
I should do what
Makes happy
Others' views of
Be damned!

I cannot do that.
It is not how I am wired
I am half a century
And I have cared too much.
For too long.
Can I now change my tune?
Change my song?

You see from my initial reaction
That I am so effing sensitive.
It is not that I am self centered
Well maybe I am.
But it has not done
much good
In fact it is just the opposite.

You wanted to be more
Than what I am
But not to judge
But to have my dreams
And goals meet
Their targets
If that were to make
Me happy.

So my reaction
Was the thought that
I could have my dreams
Realized with someone's help
Someone who cared enough
To take a leap of faith
That I am worth the price
The change for both
Of our benefit.

Indeed such a thought
Was almost painful
In that it was something
That was held in so long
That I was all alone
In my journey
Without a kindred spirit
Without a partnering soul.

 I only want. Inequities transcribed upon each molecule!
Structure forth limbs; who's narcissistic movements belittle
the past. Governing me towards greener pastures.

    Quoting DareU2play2:
    I only want. Inequities transcribed upon each molecule!
    Structure forth limbs; who's narcissistic movements belittle
    the past. Governing me towards greener pastures.
Are you writing a poem? For me it is easier to see as lines in a format like:

I only want.
Inequities transcribed upon each molecule!
Structure forth limbs;
Whose narcissistic movements
Belittle the past.
Governing me towards
Greener pastures.

That makes it easier for me to grasp. I can understand the first two lines. That is beautiful. The next two thoughts of the structure forth limbs and narcissistic movements belittling the past...that is profound. But how does it govern you to greener pastures? Would it be better to use directing me towards greener pastures if you wish to continue with the phrase green pastures? Or you could just say directing me to a future I wish I could imagine. Just some thoughts. Tell me what you are thinking...
