Relation of Obligation

‘Twas I, once enthralled by you,
Ne’er more I intend.
Must I fuel our trysts?
You fail in receiving gratification,
I obtain no forms of justification,
Unbegetting of my sincerest concern.
I fabricate a front of enamor.
I will deny you my honorable respect,
For we procure no benefit!
In perfect uncertainty I extend our interlude,
But ignoring your presence pains me none anyhow.
Though I am begrudgingly required to employ my obligation
That is called you.

More than just a date. I recently have been “seeing” someone. I initially liked them, but lost interest after finding out a few things. The poem is about how I recently realized how much I am not interested in this person yet for the last few months I continually go out with them. I don’t even know why. I find them to be rather dull, superficial, self centered, highly promiscuous and many other character flaws. I am not particularly lonely, I don’t even want to date anyone. I can’t explain why I continue to see them. Other than I am a typically nice guy, and when they call, I answer. This person hasn’t been mean or cruel, but not generous either. I just feel like they haven’t given me just reason to cut the ties.

It is just my resolution to end something volatile.

Anyway, that was probably more than you wanted to know, but it feels good to get it off my chest.

Thanks for the comments, I wrote it in terminology to reflect the confusion and complexity of what I am feeling.

I think it was a good poem, getting things out this way can help sometimes but I must ask you this, cruel of me I don’t know but anyway, why do you think it is fair to drag them along in this relationship when you don’t want it?
Just because you say they have done nothing wrong for you to end it doesn’t mean anything, if you are unhappy with the way things are then you should finish it not only for yourself but for them too, the longer you carry on with it then the more attached to you they will get and the harder it will be for things to finish…
There is someone out there for everyone and by keeping this relationship afloat you are stopping both of you from moveing on and meeting someone you both deserve.

That is what I am realizing. Well even then the situation gets more complicated. This person is also promised to someone else who is at sea on deployment. Supposedly the arrangement was that until they were reunited in the states, then both parties were free to date/whatever until that date. So the person who the poem is about, isn’t necessarily becoming emotionally attached to me. So they say.

But I agree this isn’t a right situation. (and this is not my defense, just an explanation of the intricacies) That is why now I have severed ties.

Sounds very complicated and I know how you feel to some extent, it is hard to know what the best or right thing is to do, I hope everything works out for you and you get fromlife what you want.
