Sleepless nights I lay awake with lingering thoughts of you
Thoughts of you from days long gone
Days where we once shared a space
Days where your tears were dried by my fingers and your smile was caused by my hands
But those days are long gone
Long forgotten
They are but a memory passing away with the sands of time
And yet my heart holds on
Trying to salvage from the wreckage a love that has come and gone
Our time entered and existed and I became your prerequisite love
I was the appetizer that prepared you for your entree
I paved the way so that the man you have now would have an easy road to travel
And as I built that road I didn't see it that way
I saw a road that we would travel down together forever
There was no end
Just the ever setting orange sun on the horizon ahead of us
I had dreams
I had plans
I had hope
I thought I had a future
All I had was a vision
A vision of how I wanted things to be
But hear I sit alone and heartbroken
While you run around with another man
Walking the path that I laid for him
Me?
I was just the prerequisite love

I really enjoyed reading this poem. I like the concept. the wordage is really creative. And of course u always paint a picture with your words. LOVED IT!
hmm well let me think....this is something even Obama could relate to...so I'm absolutely feeling this one. It's not one of my favorites but I adore your thoughts so I love it anyway...
In full agreeance with the others on this one. Strange how we can sometimes be the plow that breaks up the fallow ground for someone else to plant and reap a harvest of love. A bit melancholy, but so are the residual feelings left behind after being the prerequisite. Joy F
