it feels like i’m falling away
like you don’t want me to care
then tell me, why am i here
tell me why i’m anywhere
all that i’ve held onto
i guess it doesn’t mean a damn
fain just let me disappear
the nothing i had, you burned it all
so at least let me be warmed a little while
gift me a last unbeholden smile
then tell me why, why won’t i die
all that i’ve clung onto
i guess it isn’t worth a damn
fain just let me disappear
it feels like you don’t want me to feel
i’m the face you’ve unseen behind the door
don’t tell me to dry my tears
don’t tell me anything at all
everything you said
was all i ever knew
everywhere i trod
was to keep pace with you
everything i felt
now everything imbued
i’ve never needed you more
to enslave myself to you
you’re the stone that weighs within me
beneath this binding arc of decay
lo, i am death, lo, i am sleep

Deep breath in…Ahhhhhhh, long sigh out…hmmmmmm. That’s how your poem “carried me” as I read it silently. Simply lovely but sad, sigh, sad, sigh, sad.

I was doing a lot of that myself as I wrote this, Rae. It’s heartening to know that this swept you through the emotions of the piece, but not in a harmful way.

a heavy brick on your chest, do you think by waxing your chest will automatically remove the brick? just a thought. In practical way though, a bear hug for you.

Wax on… wax off… You are wise beyond your years, young Cassa. Certainly much wiser than I! And thank you for the bear hug! 🙂

Love is a fire that can not be extinguished, it merely smouders and tastes like ash. The answer is a fresh wind and a new flame.
