Maybe Tomorrow

by ether   Aug 21, 2008


My hands were cold
He held them,
I smiled.

Don`t think this means a thing,
It`s simply an intoxication that will stimulate me for hours on end.

Defend what you believe you`re worth,
But only when it`s all over.
Your morals are on the floor with your body,
Begging to be accepted.

Rejected, it`s simple, really.
The slick sli-i-i-i-de of your words;
Manipulating.
Every.
Bone.

I don`t expect you to see,
I don`t expect you to feel,
But I expect you to care.

I am the erased words that never quite fit in,
Sometimes in sentences,
Sometimes in numbers.
I`m a perfect fit to any frame.

Just like the cancer of passion you hold deep within,
Spreading through you,
Contagious - to me.
I`d take your dreams and give them a name.

Falling short,
Out of touch.
One step forward is three the other way.

Give me a chance to pick myself up,
To fall down again.

Today we stop just short of time,
Tomorrow we will try again.

    I also like they way you ended it and used the title, not giving up and trying tomorrow even if we are bound to fail today. You did a nice job with this poem, thanks so much for entering it.

    I like your texture of writing, it comes from the heart and is very sincere.

    I like how its all in pieces, but then falls into place, like a puzzle.
    Keep it up!
    You know your good, just embrace it more.
