"Forget You Never"
by Max PhineasTo keep this a secret
is a Painshield most strong
But bares a new pain within.
A secret divulged
Is a vulnerability granted
To those who peer through my eyes.
They tell me to forget.
but I wonder if they've considered...
If love was a choice
Do you think I'd choose this state of being?
...But then she walks by again, and I know.
No contest. 10/14/2007
Author's Note: "...And it breaks my heart. Breaks my heart."

| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 10/15/07 at 06:09 AM Your poetry only gets better and more intense. These words are bittersweet and although I don't know what they're really about, they brought tears to my eyes thinking about events in my life where these words apply. You are such an amazing poet. I love your work.
