she fell over her arm
tripped on it actually
and marveled
to see her foot stay behind as well
she struggled to right herself
but the proceeding unbalanced stumble
only served to jar another limb
and next
I think was her other arm
because she couldn't seem to catch
the falling pieces
nor herself as she repeatedly hit rock bottom
she never saw them go, but her ears
must have been next
cause she couldn't hear the offers for help
and she couldn't bear to hear herself think
and last
as she sat with no arms and no legs
(and no ears)
and cried
because she still had her eyes
must have been her heart
the swelling in her chest
just didn't leave room for it
any more

well have you ever heard the saying "a poet by any other name is a poet just the same?" *very expectant waiting for an answer look*

lol ok I just made that up, but no do not feel remiss in missing this, and the temple one, they have never worn the name of Corazon before, were written in a dark time of my life when I needed a different pen name to hide behind...was even hard to go and dig them up, but I write best when my heart is breaking, so I knew these would probably be good ones to put the shovel to ...thanks

Names sound different, but heart ache in any word formation sing the same sad song....

Corazon, this is great piece of work, thanks for sharinga nd thanks for submitting...I am gladdened by the fact that you no longer feel the need to hide behind past shadows...

This feels incredibly real, and that's what makes it so strong.  I like this alot.

It has been said before, but I say it anyway this is very powerful and yes "WOA"

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
