All black and white,
Never gray.
Hang on tight,
Cannot stray.

I admit defeat,
Crumpled and bare.
Left with this heat,
Passion? Just couldn't dare.

I've learned I feel,
All consuming need.
Now so hard to deal,
Having planted the seed.

Yes, you want me,
Cannot live so empty.
Time for you to see,
All it is we have to be.



"I've come too close to happiness, to have it swept away,don't think I can take the pain, never fall again..." Janet

Jenn!  Nice job on this poem, it deserves a title.  I was thinkin' something from the last line... just sorta looked like a great summary of the poem's meaning.  
Very good work!

i really like this poem, you did an awsome job on this.  i especially liked the way you wrote the last stanza, it really added a lot of punch to the piece.  always like reading your work, i look forward to reading more from you.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Jenn, does the last line suggest that you're ready to get serious with someone?  Hmmmm, that's not the Jen I know. Ha ha

NOt your best, but i did enjoy the read.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
