[hometext] => I just seem to always be falling short....tell me what u think....
[bodytext] => My best is not enough This stretched circle of disappointment Has broken my resistance Now the slightest word Can shatter the glass wall I have built to protect myself My face still mourns in compassion For my friends who live in heartache Filling their own glass shelter That has yet to be broken My resistant tears Do not flow They hang like steel To the corners of my eyes My eyelashes are changed to dams To stop the pressured flow Of sinking emotion I am forced to control His stare still sees my glass For he sees himself in the reflection I produce Glancing right through all that makes me who I am My lost hope is growing beyond my reach And soon my laughter will move away Packed inside of him, a separate soul From the pain-filled memory-makers I still love If I pull on my soul will I be able to stop Time and control my well-worn words? Will my best bring him back? Can I stop him? Will my best be better than what it was before? Can I stop him? Will my best ever be enough?

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. ©
