This Place I Leave Behind

looking for somewhere that I've never been all alone and in between the place I come from and the place that I'm in the place I left behind there's a few things I don't know some things hidden, I don't want to see things come and things go here today, gone tomorrow here for a minute, gone in an hour now it all just goes to show I needed you less than you need me I offer sweet tea and sympathy if you can't trust me who do you believe those things which we will not speak words that leave us weak utterances of nothing pledged lips that won't spit them out this place I come from this place that I'm in this place I leave behind

Thank you for sharing your poetry J B. Poets here offer such diverse writings and to me it is a pleasure to read each and everyone. I will not be here at the Soup to read from Friday through Monday. I hope you will find mountains of inspiration during that time. I look forward to reading when I return. Have a great weekend. Love, Carol
