And I stand here; feet welded
to the ground by the hot
wax of my own conscience.

My mind drowns in its own thoughts.
I ignore it and choose to think of nothing in particular.
What is left?
Two sides fight.
What is right?

The bitter war carries on as I watch
another unfold.
Part wants to join in.
If nothing more, he'll get a kick out of it.
Punch him once for me.

The other, the other knows this is silly.
Understand maturity does not befriend
teenage boys.

In minutes, it is over, it will never be finished.
There was a winner on the field, there is a new
on in the parking lot.

You smile at me with blood slipping
through your teeth,
morphine slipping through a tired body.
I can not help but smile back.

"You smile at me with blood slipping
through your teeth,"
What a very powerful poem. This is wonderful work... I enjoyed it very much. The last stanza was my favorite, that last line was a heart-wrencher. Very well done, Susan... I can't wait to read more

I wish your fingers could touch all I can't say... no one should ever feel this alone.
