Between the Lines

Pressured


Sometimes the pressure's just too much.
It's then I'll take its hit.
But when I'm laden by its touch
often I'll deny it.

So it seems my bed is laid
and with it minus covers.
The chill I feel is all around
and yet it's me it smothers.

The tightening of each breath I take.
The pain extracted when
the pressure seems to be too much
and I lay back again.

Each day I think that I'm ahead
until I read the paper
on whose terms, between the lines,
the flame begins to taper...

And then again possessed am I,
the past into the present,
until the words held heart inside
ooze out their feel, unpleasant.

Releasing all the pressures of
the normalness of then
I sleep it off, and dream a bit
to feel the warmth again.

M

There was no pressure when you penned this jewel. Well written and I loved it.
