When I posted the last poem I was in a rush. I had to make sure I jotted it down or else I was afraid to lose it. This version has a few changes, but it totally gives the sense of what I was trying to write in the first place. It sucks what a headache can do to your creativity. I'm just glad it's gone and the beauty of it all is that I was able to replace it with this! I'm so glad I'm writing again. I've been so stressed as of late. Lots of change afoot. Anyway, here's the revised piece...
Breathe/revised
11/16/06
tip-tap-tap-flutter-flutter
my heart has wings...
hold in the kiss
you left me
take in the hurt
you kept behind
seal up all the memories
that blind
stitch up the wound
with time
it's just a song
it's just a song
I hear
Oh, God, it's so loud
I've loved you for so long
been so long, I can't remember
but I know it happened
in November
tip-tap-tap-flutter-flutter
it's just a song
it's just a goddamn song
I hear
Why can't I breathe?
