walk
smell the rain hitting asphalt
we belong in the city
surrounded by glass and steel
I’m starting to see that I love you still
after all the knives
and oh the irony
my blade is still stained with you
but still you look at me like that

what is this twisted weave we lie in?
pattern spinning and tying us in
I know you’re wise and a god in your own right
but tell me
have you ever felt this real?
like if I hit you
you would bruise like humans do and humans should?

it’s like this ground is solid now
and my feet won’t just sink in- wanna feel you sink in-
want to make you breathe
want to be real and feel the blood rise

amazing. you are truly a wonderful writer.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
