Neutral Ground

by Nonz   Apr 3, 2009


Please forgive my guilty tongue
of passive thoughts, the taste has stung
as broken glass has at me flung
from bitter words I somehow knew

our pride has kept our souls on guard
pretenses have not proven hard
when we have played but all our cards
tainted some blame-darkened hue

meet me on some neutral ground
we'll shed the wounds to which we're bound
grant the right to turn around
the yesterdays we're overdue

meet me again and I'll confess
the reason's I, to your distress
yet should I learn you love me less
I shan't implore, and leave on cue
I shan't implore, but leave on cue

    Very nice and a good read over and over - the words were chosen well and your thoughts played out perfectly on the page. I have to say I like for no other reason than I liked it...

    Nice

    I love it, your style kind of reminds me of edgar allan poes work, dark yet filled with a writers passion. Great job

    "I shan't implore, and leave on cue
    I shan't implore, but leave on cue"
    -I find those lines the perfect closure to your poem, they so much demonstrated why you chose the title in the first place.
    Loved it.
