Scraped Knees

I trip over the intricate details Falling over, under, through Coasting and rushing Tasting and splitting Your words While you stagger on the surface Unaware and oblivious I hang on the memories of your past Reliving your kiddy sensations Crushed and enthralled Hyper and confused By growing While you envision me the same 2D and stagnant And my heart stings Much like scraped knees Because you can’t understand me 12.23.2013

Thanks for the compliments Peter, its always good to know that your words and phrases are useful in helping someone else discover what they are trying to say.

Please dont be offended Courtney, but ive always said, lack of understanding comes from lack of communication, if you want someone to know your heart, just tell them, the truth will set you free whether its painful to hear or not. If he doesnt listen then its on him, but a smart loving man would. Sorry for rambling, happy holidays, Carl

Thanks for the insight Carl, but this poem is actually about when you keep communicating in different ways, have tried everything, and realize that there is nothing else to be done but recognize defeat..
