a picture was taken
    we weren't there
his smile was stolen
    but we'll save it forever
a scene on a floor
   i've looked up from so many times
whining in names we forgot the faces to
   the endings to stories are learned after too long
we're gonna beg, yeah you know it
   there's nothing left to do
it's nighttime, it's time to go
   we never learned another way
we stare at car wrecks, everyone does
   well the two of us go back to the same old disaster
across town, on a wire
   let's replay old messages we saved on our machines
i didn't know bones broke like that
   you never told me you stayed so close to home
we can dance down hallways, love, and sparkle in the sun
   or we can burn in the snow and be shadowed by night
we finished the game
   now we're playing a new one
some things never change
   and they're the things we can't save
it's such a toss up, isn't it?  
   i'll put my head against tile and hope to be saved
maybe i'm dying
   but right now it doesn't matter
if it brings me your voice
   all is well that ends in tears.

I am speechless - there are no words to tell you how much your poem impacts me.

I am sorry that you have had the experience to understand all you wrote of.  Does that make sense?

Just sending my hugs.

Well writ

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
