Fingertips retrace
to loose ends
like child
tripping over shoelace
i stumble
over lost words

Enough of them
to bend breathing
into tearful wring of
sorrows neck

Too few
to make me mourn
for grit to grate wound
even further

Upon muddled middle ground

I am safer
not moving
closing eyes to what I knew
antique mass of stale
buy for less
and sell me again.

Sorry ...

        real hearts are not for sale,
                   and you would be too priceless

          wish such sorrows would never
                 find your tomorrows.

                      Don't sell yourself short!!

Gumdrop-

hey, i really liked this. it's sad how people don't care sometimes. like your just property or something...for them to do whatever they want. oh now I understand...what they were talking about. Thanks gem, you just helped me a lot, and as allways- great poem

Don't it allways seem to go,
that you don't know what you've got till' it's gone

a cliff on either side

but

that middle ground might surprise you

it soon grows
to encompass
it all
if you let it

the depths are only as permanent
as an emotion

this was nice Gem
and I echo...
stale mass?
nope
