for 15 seconds
that's enough for
the word to
lose its meaning.
You thought
it was too soon for me to feel anything,
you never truly believed it.
I add my love
to one hopeless sentence,
make it my last.to one hopeless sentence,
I find it hard these days
to place it
in context.
I love how you go from kind of a nonsense phenomenon to a specific emotional situation. You da bomb, girl.

the last part of poem put the first part into context.. great when one comes to the end and feel the necessity to go back and read.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, no matter how often you repeat the same thing, the meaning remains jumbled to an unwilling listener.
ReplyDeleteSo very true, Kerry.
DeleteWords and rules can change meaning in their travels from mouth to ear.
DeleteWhat Kerry said, exactly so.
ReplyDeleteHow to communicate the heartache of unrequited love? Just. Like. This.
ReplyDeleteOthers say it takes repeating three times to remember. But only presence retains the meaning in the sentence--as you so aptly and poetically say.
ReplyDeletesoooo true. very touching.
ReplyDeleteLove hurts, and yet we need it in our lives still. Nice work.
