Array ( [sid] => 57589 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => So Fragile [time] => 2004-07-26 05:32:02 [hometext] => One system wide PC crash and a scoured hard drive later - I think I wrote this painful dirge to the three years of work I lost - remember to back up, people!!! (Nahh, its about being dumped). [bodytext] => So easily broken, so hard to repair
But you have moved on, so what do you care?
So long in the making, so quickly undone
Divide and lay bare all that was one.

So fragile, so delicate, the fabric we weave
Did you even think twice before deciding to leave?
You peeled me away like a sloughing of skin
And all I have left is the hollow within.

So much time to reach union, so hard to find grace,
Did you find it so easy to retreat from that place?
What once was an Eden is now barren and forlorn
A world in the forming will never be born.

So long to build trust, so quick to betray
Did you ever look back as you bustled away?
To survey the wounded adrift in your wake
At your terrible power to make and unmake.

So difficult to find you, so easily lost
You are free of all burden, but what of the cost?
Now you have moved on, leaving a trail of despair,
So easily broken, so hard to repair.

I am again impressed. Having read a few of your recent pieces, I started poking through your work. I must honestly tell you that I think you're under-read.

Nice touch to begin and end with the same line here. The entire piece is very well presented... that just gives it a bit of a bump as it ends.

Very well done! You're very talented.
