Death Do Us Part

hope lies             slit wrist
        not much            tight twist~
      twitch finger        missed kiss~~
      guilty little              witchy miss~~~
        long run      nothing there
   cold breath       steaming stare
      thought you've    always known
    never cared          busy phone
    times gone           bye bye
        no regrets          we die
         --- ---                  V
          --  --                  l l
          L   L                 v v 
                                 


****the shape is Supposed to be of two lovers dancing!

hmmm, it seems a bit gruesome. Did I read it right? I guess I am not good at seeing shapes.To me not much like dancers. maybe it's the way my screen shows it. Wanted to say hi to you and thanks for your welcome comments. Sorry my time is so short these days and I can't even get around to that one list yet. WHen my life is back to normal, joey. and I sure hope that will be soon!!

Joey, Dad and I saw that Miami Heat game around Christmas time in 2008. Dad had a stroke on New Year's Day and died six days later. I really am glad I was able to share that game with him, regardless of whether or not I enjoy basketball I always had fun watching games with Dad. Love, Carolyn

Yes, I can see the shape, Joey. Love can be like a dance sometimes -- pushing and pulling our partners. There's a lot that lies beneath the surface of this poem. Well done! Love, Carolyn
