are you done asking why
theres so much to know
but we have quite a ways to go
if you lead me to the morning after
can that prevent more disaster
for the see through soul
the place i save..where nothing will ever grow

jackal: intriguing, but shrouded in mystery for my feeble mind... pray tell, of what does this poem speak?

sincerely,
jerome the boy that just made kool-aid

 A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge

I guess this is maybe something to do with love going wrong?  but perhaps a little less obscurity and more "fleshing out" maybe in order ..

just an op.....

I like the poem.  I interpret it as your little voice in your head talkng to you and you talking back.  Or maybe is it life leading you and you asking why?  I do not know but i like it none the less.

I especially like
"if you lead me to the morning after
can that prevent more disaster"

I would be interested in hearing what your intention was in the poem.

See Ya
