TIEING UP HER SHOES
thumps down
her packsack on
the pink phone
in a hurry
leaving home
I did everything
tried to love
but the fires
were larger
the ash consumed
destruction violence
her playground then
a wave and gone
not even a look
Love is a pain
a slap
the rains
that fall cold and
steady
seeping
like the cold
that will blow
stabbing
the beauty haunted
foreboding
exhalted
nothing will break
this hold
this spell
I carry it
like a broken
treasure
the last of
any known
pleasure

You made...
me feel the emotion as you usually do. Though we may move on, we never forget our loves. ~ Gee
There is value to commenting and critique, tell us how you feel about our work.
This must be the place, 'cause there ain't no place like this place anywhere near this place.
