trapped inside your arms a place i didn't want to be you wanted a savior something only you could do but i could never be you changed the locks to keep her out holding me way to tightly yet i knew, i knew our house of pain and all the what if's i knew the many waves goodbye and those unforgiving mistakes i feared i would make it would take only one I lied you got even again and again knowing your lies duty fell hard uttering affirmations as an understanding woman prophetic visions led your secrets from red roses to black the ones you couldn't tell which forced you into so many arms you were ignorant of me I was under attack slipping from my fingertips was the sound of your heart banishing me from your eyes your heart your soul she was the voice of you i, your tell tale truth my poverty was you you couldn't decide between us lawlessness, godless fear shamed us all the hurt was deceitful yet, you dwell within me from afar for a very long time hearing attainable breath who called truth and that whisper again inside of you (she loves me, she loves me not) still learning words wondering where the designation of our division began… from the sound of that first wet kiss speaking unattainable hearts your words think and feel I felt everything great power will not move a name you held me high over your head then I stumbled and fell sad so sad your look of disgust the hurt I could never take back shamed my embrace sober resting place for my words you thought to be lies I learned I was a Las Vegas game, you put money on and won the sin of our own keeping is always fear... yet, I still hear your words whispering "I love you" but you loved them all didn't you? ...you return to me to them & to the new again, and again sad ?

I adore Seymour's take on it~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

" ...you return to me to them & to the new again, and again sad" ~ Like the proverbial bad penny that keeps showing up!  "I felt everything" ~ and thy sensitivity bodes well for the fine poetess that ye be! Sending a big hug-o-love, Linda |

Yes, LeeJ, it is a sad story and one I fear to be all too real for many of us but the telling of it is outstanding. I enjoy the depths you always take me to. Thank you! |
