THINGS YOU SAY

.

THINGS YOU SAY

 

Oh , I knew you wouldn’t go without a whisper,

And I knew you wouldn’t go without a scene-

A love that was burning out, not turning crisper:

 A love that might as well have never been…

.

Oh, you bore me to the seams

With your sorrows and your dreams,

And the tales of things you gave up just for me-

You tell me when I came,

That I was bound in mental chains,

But you never really tried to set me free!

And I'm going…

.

You say it hurts so much

For you to speak about your past,

And then you tell me of the many things you've lost-

You tell me when I came

That I was blind and I was lame,

But you give me sight and freedom at what cost!

And I'm gone…

I love the raw emotion you put into your poetry. I could imagine this piece being acted out on the stage! and the tense atmosphere would have the audience rivited.

You held my attention in a dynamic way.

Well done
