Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
You're the one that left

Speak now!

by DR DIP

SPEAK NOW!

Speak now or forever hold your peace
Tell me how this union, should now forever cease
Come break your jealous silence and tell me how it is
Now's not the time for defiance, I haven't the time for this!

"Time, it waits for no man" or so the cliche' goes
Catch me if you can! Tell me what everyone knows
There's no time for a jealous heart, not even for a second
Guess you knew this from the start, for it's your heart, that's beckoned

Speak now or forever silent
Don't play with my restless heart
I needed you to be compliant
And I needed this from the start

Now's not the time to rue the past
On what was once; now gone
I was the one who thought it would last
But you left!... and left me so forlorn!

I gave you every chance you had
For any reason or retribution
I've now moved on; I was so sad
You gave me no solution

Now I've found another love
Who loves me as I am
You had said you'd had enough
So don't tell me it was all a sham

So speak now or forever hold your peace
But just don't leave me any doubt
For you were the one who didn't release
Your emotions and feelings out!

Sometimes lovers take the other for granted and supposedly move on to greener pastures Then regret what they have done

Note: I am fully aware of the meter being out and the syllabic count being unbalanced. I don't need a poet Nazi to tell me this
Read the poem aloud, establish the rhythm and beat and the intent I know it works
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
