Steve Voorhees Poet Free verse

Heartless Way

Hand reached through
  to pull you through
Ill always do that for you
  I held you closely, caring closely
you drench my shirt in tears
But after all the years
I've lifted, held you up
said words to build you up
You stand firmly now
tred your own ground
walk side by side, you and I
til that day I tripped fell
stumbled down swiftly
You never broke pace to lift me
Striding on, not looking back
I lay there, looking on dumbly
Its your heartless way that numbed me

Laurie Ginn January 12, 2009 at 11:00 AM Pain, agony, what the heck Voorhees I was totally lulled into such a sweet tender poem of love only to get kicked in the gut at the end. Never trust a poet,,,or maybe that's a man. That was heartless. On the flip side if it wasn't so beautiful it wouldn't have kicked that bad. Great job Alfie. Loveudo, Laurie
