void in me

[upsetmyheart]

Stu, you inspired me to write...or at least to dig deep and attempt to begin to resurface...

more than anything
i'm yearning to be held
oh, but please...
don't touch me, 
i'm so close to breaking;
it's too risky.
i may crumble 
to shards of pain
which slice your fingers.

play with fire 
and invite me to the dance.
i'll spin
and laugh
and twirl with you,
defying

This is really beautiful, more so for me because I know the feeling of the poem. It was like my best friend for so long... things do change, Candi. They really do.

"i may crumble
to shards of pain
which slice your fingers"

Hey, you've been gone awhile and I hope you're okay. I undertook a challenge where I wrote for all of my LJ friends; you were the first and the feedback I got from the poem was positive, making me happy more than you'll ever know. I really wanted you to read the poem so when you return, here's the link to it:

I hope you like it.
