Simultaneously by Shy Leigha void
a pit
i remember it
too well
too soon
to forget...
a shard
a fragment
of
broken
glass...
a darkened picture
of my
past.
do You remember it?
remove this dirty, dusty
remove this guilt, suffering.
remove this tear of glass...
remove this life, I ask.
remove this pain, I plead.
remove this want, this need.
remove this shame, the blood.
remove it all, if You would.
help me, please, help me...
I beg, I plead, I cry...
help me, please, help me--
sometimes it hurts to live and die

Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 11/12/02 at 01:15 PM Emotional pain and mental anguish can be more brutal than physical pain I blieve. You have caught that sense very intensely in your poem. The terseness of the verses even suggest the withdrawn state of mind and spirit. |
