the lack of
by Ava Blui didn't share this with you
because my tiny writing couldn't
face the light underneath
your too-bright microscope
and i suffered
for choices
for the lack of
and the distance IS bearable
(even for me, the broken rag-doll)
you don't know what this means
(i know)
but my throat closes every time
you pick up the phone
to be mute
to live, speak only
through words and actions
maybe then this love could remain committed. 04/30/2008

| Posted by Elizabeth Jill on 08/31/09 at 02:43 AM I'm glad I found this in someone's favorite's. Here are feelings I understand, having been silented since I can remember. Your delivery is perfect. Who could not feel after reading it? The photograph is at once important. |
