Punchline

The first thing I heard you say wasn’t directed toward me somehow it drew me in like a frail fish on a thin fishing line Your actions slowly progressed from tender to aggressive The months turned into a punchline; they ended quickly, but seemed to last forever an eternity I take the world “punchline” to heart- you lifted your last PUNCH at the fishing LINE that i was drawn in on It snapped somehow i was drawn back in again, and again, and again... months seemed to last years I was only getting weaker Feelings faded I built up the courage to look at you one last time then... i took a leap of faith I jumped off the dock into a different pond I slowly gained my fins back I found a strength I had never known now there is no need for a punchline- the story of me and you may of ended, but the everlasting memories will never take a leap of faith they are here to stay in my mind forever and ever and ever...

This reminds me a lot of my poem "Stepping Stone". Very well written. I like the whole fishing line concept. :)
