Description I keep this photograph of you. The cords of my throat snap tightly, making a hollow and bitter music, as I trace each line with my eyes. Every time I linger over it I'm knowing it as I never knew you. As difficult as it is, I'm finding my own way to set you free from me. But as each chemical develops a wing for you to flee on, my blood is knotting deeper into the page, rooting me here to stare at your fading path. Its not that you've been gone for some time now that bothers me. Its that I'm left in the silence of that unescapable moment. A memory that never voiced a goodbye.

It's so hard to put feelings like that into words, and here you've gone and done it. Awesome.

Thanks, it took me awhile internally to figure out what I needed to say when I wrote it.

Oh man, that hits me,, in a sort of painful way, but it's also a little comforting,, sometimes one will feel like they're the only one who's had their heart broken

Oh my gosh... This poam is like explaing my deepest feelings... This feeling really sucks too, and yet it is unescapeable... I try so hard but it never seems to go away... *sigh* I still miss this girl even though she left me cold over a year from now... Very strange though... But lately I realized that all my free verse poetry or lyrics that I say/sing verbal all are negative and about heartbreak... This poem stirred me in my seat... That's crazy... I have to keep this one...

very soothing even in the depths of its melancholy. i like the elements of tension and destruction you use, elegant but no less painful for it.
