Gina Young Poet Free verse

To Leave a Lover, To Leave a Drug

To open up the sky
To dig up abandoned graves
The touch of silk replaced by steel
And forgive the dramatic implication
But Im getting out
Forgetting faces
Ignoring the nameless
Avoiding these places
Washed away to scrape my flesh
Replace the numb with burn
Suffer the fright 
Set me on fire
But Im losing you
Forgiving the time
Insisting on feeling
Cant be mine

Poet Tacito June 5, 2013 at 9:42 PM Complexity is good, yes, you're right. But, when the complexities become vicious circles and happiness is drained, then it's time for change from within. You're welcome. Thank you for making me think! :) Gina Young June 5, 2013 at 10:47 PM No thanks to you for all the support! :)

Gina Young June 5, 2013 at 10:25 AM But life is nothing if not complex, right? As well as the human heart. And wanting the unavailable is one of the largest follies. Thank u, thank u!!

Poet Tacito June 5, 2013 at 7:55 AM Wanting what we can't have. Wanting what doesn't want us in return. Love, desire, passion...no matter which element we're enveloped in, it should never be this complex. This was awesome. Yes, ignore the nameless. Excellent!
