Squeeze tightly this perforated embrace
And take a rip if you please, my friend.
Manufactured with skillful deliberate intent,
unfortunate such a parting can be planned.
Mourn sets of perforated peers,
Walking along side still wet side walks.
Jousting with scribbled tongues until,
Partitioned by ticks of sticky clocks.
Avoid perforated lovers,
They cant help but destroy your forever.
Torn painfully by opposing forces,
Both alone now without half of your better.

Welcome to the site
Welcome to the site. I have enjoyed reading this poem also, It leaves me with a feeling of a person with something missing in their life. I am not sure that is what you meant. someone missing someone maybe. Please let me know.
It was well thought out and the verses flow smoothly. Good write.
Thanks, Jeanette
my intent
I was hoping to capture a potential danger to the soul associated with relationships that are perforated from their inception. For example, a boyfriend/girlfriend duo that walk a tight rope of lies that they have built their love upon. When one of these lies surfaces it would have enough gravity to end the union. Therefor I find it correct to call it a perforated embrace/peer/lover.
Thank you for your help with my work. I look forward to reading your own.
Daniel
