Acid Burn

it hurts me so to read your rhyme
the acid burns your soul, and mine
your words are cold upon my skin
they burn me,  deep within
I have lived every word
even when no one else heard
it is my turn, to hear your voice
can't look away-have no choice
it is not your sins to atone
and in the silence, your never alone
it's ok to look in a strangers face
to melt the horrors, you now erase
so if, you have the need
I know the tears that you now bleed

"...the rest is silence" (Hamlet)       Shakespeare

To "feel" another's words is what Passions is all about, whether we're just vening, whining, (heaven forbid) sorrowful or joyful, we all have that acid burn from time to time and thank God we can write about it.

and the sun drips honey."
