In a state of disrepair...

Adhesive and self-sealing
You are my friendly feeling.
Helps me sink deeper
So it all goes slow
The memory’s a keeper
You’re sifting sorrow
from my blood flow

Addictive and self-healing
You are my secret meaning
Helps me sink deeper
Into everything I know
The memory’s a keeper.
You’re sieving musing
from my summer low.

Enticing and soft seeming
You are my guilt dreaming
Helps me sink deeper
To drown below the flow
The memory’s a keeper
You’re stealing heartbeats
from my damaged soul

You’re stealing the last beat
To keep it for your own…
You’re taking all the best
To claim for your own…
Adhesive and self-sealing
You’ve stolen all the meaning
to keep it for your own...


"And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea,
But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and the fifty-three."

Wow this is a very good poem.  I like how it was alittle repetitve, but different then tied in to the poem. Well done.  I couldn't find any pointers or any thing the flow is good and the rhyme was good.

If at first you don't succeed destroy all the evidence that you tried.
