Dip into a Memory… |

I dip into a memory- (stale and slightly hurt) of unpardonable silence- surrounding life’s concert… I shake the sweat- from trembling hands, less I drown before I understand… You told my eyes- of compromise, said some things are better left alone… felt the lie twisting insides- marked question in your tone… Asking of her memory- (the one that came before me) You shied right by my scrutiny- knocked instead (upon a door) of clarity… Silent battle reigned in time- (you then drown me in detail) Cringing then, my hopeless find- Realization that I’d failed… Currently- I’ve been informed, (due to my reckless nature) of romantic past adorned within her perfect stature… I know not what would have been- Had I never let you in… Creeping you inside of me Now all is different in love you see… Childish, yes that I may be… still silently- I condemn the one that came before me… Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

Never fun having to be second, when you are supposed to be first.... I have to tell you that you write quite, quite well. And this poem is no exception. |

Never fun being the second... (or third or fourth or ...) But I mean the second big love. There's always a presence of the first hanging around... Very good poem. Feel my angsty reachiness! |

Another gem from you, memories are teasing things that keep us up at night, eh? All too often I regret the mistakes of past and am ever thankful for the present. Perhaps poor decisions turned out with present pleasings: *waves at Caiya* |
