It's to that point of the night, once more
Everyday offers something new
Experiences, chances...
And I think of all that has attempted to be
And back to start once again
I've done the unthinkable
Yet once more
My entire essence given as such a simple gift
Before, each time has thrown it back to me
And tears are falling, again
Maybe it's to make me infallible
A greater lesson learned through routine
Yet, as so oft before, I cry tonight
And although this has become my place
My "I know it so well"
The chemistry of these tears
Is yet another new formula
In the equation of hurt
So many times I've allowed myself
To come here and stop
That I should be chaperone
To knowing all of this
But yet again, I suffer amnesia
Of a heart's attempt today
And the "newness" of it all
Helps not to prepare me for the pain, again
You put me here by your own inability to see
There's a part of you that believes
But the bulk of your Lincoln Logs
Build but a fort around a heart afraid
And indeed you claim an available key
To finally unlock all the beauty inside
Yet your search refuses to afford
You insight that I have been grasping it all along
Or all alone...
So now, the resin from a gun fired one too many times
Begs me to see your shot at my heart miss-fired
And I suffer loss of memory once more
Does your miscreance of right and wrong
Coerce me to aid and abeit
Or does the slightest of flint-fires of hope
Finally ignite a flame of truth so intense
That worldly fears
And reached verdicts of alienation
Are finally riskable?
And just maybe, for the first time
In knowing that tears are falling, again
You are finally the one
That acknowledges me
To be who this life has time and again
Attempted me to forget I heartfully am.

Another thoughtful write, friend Purity.
I like the contemplative flow of it.

if after this one, your "eternal mark" doesn't come to see, doesn't come to know, doesn't come to want, then indeed the devil must sit in the passenger seat of your automobile...

so beautiful, purity. makes me wish i was the one this was for so the response could be the right response. a heartfelt piece from a heartfelt person.

more should read and comment....

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

A greater lesson learned through routine.

Indeed.

Loved the lincoln logs usage.

A very deep and insightful poem. Thank you, Purity!

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm

You can cry the tears for the same reasons, but new hurt will open a wound and it is all a new feeling.

beautifully done.
