I'M Breaking Up With You

I’m Breaking Up With You I’m breaking up with you because I don’t know how to know you To tie you up and tie you down and feel you in my mouth I need to get away I’m comfortable with starving for your love With all the days and sleepless nights not fighting And feed my soul with misery forever For ever letting you go My precious Linda Your beauty is the sin I can't commit 6/11/14 PD - Breaking up with you contest

Good morning Pandita, I appreciate your kind words. I rewrote it yesterday to smooth out some of the rough edges thinking I had more time to shape it. I'm happy with the placement though. Thanks again, Take care. Earl

Good morning Linda...Good earl early morning! Thank you Linda. I lost your heart but won a contest placement. Funny you should be informing me of the contest. I thought I had more time. I revised it tonight. I hope you find the time to read the rewrite. I hope we can still be friends. boo hoo. Take care. Thanks again. Earl

Good Morning Andrea, Thank you so much. You are too kind. You are right. On every level this is a complicated subject. I simply dove into it with high spirits knowing the waters would be deep and cold. Have a great day. Earl

Good morning Dr. Mehta. Thank you for commenting. You are correct. You need that commitment of desire and feelings to keep the boat afloat. This is a poetry contest entry. I thank God I have stability with my wife at this time. Have a great day. Earl
