runneth over
by Beth K Hannahyou were the cup i held to my lips
Hoping to quench something within
Day in and day out i drank
and never was satisfied.
I threw the cup down
Hoping it would shatter
Hoping it would break my life
So I could maybe put it back together
But it stayed intact
though full of tiny cracks
Cracks that made me hurt
because I wasn't strong enough
to ensure you were destroyed. 07/12/2010 Posted on 07/13/2010

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 09/11/10 at 12:03 PM to say I love this ode is to say the least of what I feel, in reading it, I sense a caulking of the fissures in my soul the result of which makes me feel more connected to myself than I had been previously. |
