Solutio

how many times can one say never, again, I just wanted to forget, push all the feeling from the center, trying to give you another life, no room to help, to hold, just listen, you read my words, you were separate, did you know that you would fulfill them, hate this coil, spiral stairs, more than you, love finds its strength in learning meekness, refuse to strive, project your burden, push it down to avoid the moment, past, ever living for tomorrow, just another verse in the same song, this fragile little world comes calling, given every out, you give me mine, you are the forest, you are the trees, let go of your pedestal, a debt, owed to both of us, paid with interest, fangs, forked tongues, a vein swallowed poison, will you cut to let it out, I will, laugh when you find no warmth in spilt blood

WOW, WOW, WOW! It sure cuts deeply. There is so much in it, I could read it seventy times, and still keep finding things. Excellent, sir!

Thanks for making my day, Andrew. I hope that I can continue to keep you coming back for a fresh perspective. Occasionally I do write a little cryptically just so that people can import their own ideas into the poem.

Another deeply personal and pensive write, very deftly worded and nuanced. Terrific.
