your too much trouble
too heavy on my shoudlers
to carry the weight
of my ever present love
around wherever i go
and your perfection doesnt help
doesnt make it any easier to try to stop myself
from falling
down
deep
into
your
eyes
till
I hit the ground and wish i'd never taken that step further
step to make it clear
just how much i needed you
even though i knew it was not possible
even though we weren't even close
i just had to let you know
and i wish i hadn't
and i wish i didnt
still love you
like i do
watching you until your perfection is perfected
i can't take it
i can't take you anymore
so i'll drop your weight
forget your eyes
let my shoulders rest for a while
and carry only me around for a bit
...
or at least i'll try

put your frustrations into four letter words - incubus

oh wow

oh wow, this is you at your best. maybe not your BEST BEST like some of your poems. but wow.

is this bot a certain someone beginning with "L". cus some part of it sounds sorta related to him.

this is honestly great

Loved the title line "watching you until your perfection is perfected". Indeed! I equated my "one whom I must let go" as climbing up a mountain and I'm at the top, hands reaching out as I watch them stare into my eyes...climbing closer, then falling back down. Finally as the falls became greater lengths than the few climbed steps, I realized I'd be waiting forever for that "perfection" of the perfect. Great poem!

Laura,

this is a great piece of work!
I love how you glide down the page
freefalling emotion
and how you rise again to carry yourself
as beautifully as you have written this.

Littlewing is right, you glide down the page, gracefully and expressively may I add. Loved the watching part too. It's great, truly great.

Love,
Hollow.

thanks all for the replies

purity... um... that lost me but i kind of saw where you were coming from but thanks!

littlewing... i always feel so honoured when you reply to my poems. you always have something great to say and it really helps!

courts... thanking you muchly and i also like the perfection part

soph.... its hard to tell these days who i write these poems for. yeah i guess some bits were about 'L' but most wasnt. its weird i hav paragraphs about people, then the rest is total fiction or just random vents.

hmm thnkas guys anyway
