Withdrawn

just another jagged rhyme
forever bumped out of line
all the tears that bled
slowly fade from red
all the things on curbs in heap
knowing what to save and keep
it is, such a silent word
yes. yes. Yes. i think i heard
all familiar things..... gone
promises.............withdrawn

Very, very, very nice.  I like the rhythm and the tempo of meter.  I envision an emotional snapshot....the freeze frame image of transition between that last surge of  emotion and the still calm of numb.

This is very sad, it reminds me of cleaning up the cubbyholes and not really wanting to throw anything out.  I recently tried that but ended up keeping most everything I should have trashed.

A very melancholy poem.  I enjoyed it very much.  I like poems of a more sad and even morbid nature.  I am very new to this web site and it seems great.  such a vast array of thoughts.  Loved your poem =)

your poem pal, Joe
