You leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I’m sure I don’t make the best first impression
Cold? No, simply untold…unspoken
Watching you trying to break a lock that’s already broken
But it’s clear to see that paying closer attention might help ease the tension of you and the apprehension of me
Now plant the seed and let it be
You be the concrete and I’ll be the shadow, together we’ll watch that lonely rose grow
Creating something from nothing and then turning it into everything
I’m a little bit rusty but just dust me off and trust me
Especially on this…
Like a razorblade kiss I’ll cut through the typical behavior of the rest and build a home around the hole in your chest Center stage like the ribs of this cage
Starving for one who can simply understand what the hell I’m trying to say…
Because the fundamentals of my existence aren’t that complicated
Just hard to say.

I really like the metaphors you brought forth in this poem: the razorblade, the cement, the hole in the chest etc. I think you gave each one just the right amount of development. Very good read, five stars!!

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©
