too damn much

I'm letting you slip
run like ocean water
between my frozen fingers
you fall to the ground
and the earth
absorbs your wetness
I dig my fingers
into your chest
to fertilize the soil
that is your heart
You breathe,
you can't stop breathing
and I linger
for I know that this moment
like all others
will pass
and I will be left
to remember when
I let you go
because I loved you
too damn much

Mia, I liked this poem. It was powerful but it kind of depressed me. Perhaps that was the point, though.

Good job. (cheer up

Très bien, the ending flows a bit better now than it did when you posted this one as "untitled". Very nice mia.
