The Past - Abbey Haigh

the past (( collaboration )) by~ Abbey Haigh 'The past gives me goosebumps, to think about in detail, not to hover over the pits like a feather, but to burrow deep down into the cracks and the creases, to unpeel the half healed wounds and to pour salt on the cuts that are red and angry' by~ Poet Destroyer The past imposes on my future, of what is and could of been. Strike them like a match, and trap every old memory in the burning abyss. Abuse every thought that triggers out the barrel of a gun in to my mind' A collaboration with * Abbey Haigh

Hey, did you rate this one high? You are such a clown saying all that stuff at my poems. People are gonna think I am pumping you for contest info or something. hahaha. I saw what you posted at C.'s blog and it seemed kind of hostile and yet you ended it on a friendly note, I hope things are ok. ARe you disenchanted with something here at Soup,sweetie? Take care. luv, Andrea ps. and I'm glad you liked my orange haiku!
