In my draw

by Nicko   Nov 12, 2010


This photo see
Pushed back, far back as it can go
Beneath my socks and jocks
Old Christmas cards and such

Been lying there a while it has
Face down so the socks won't see
Been lying there to hide the hurt
Deep down from the worst in me

But I cant fool my socks and jocks
No, they know that I can see
Even when I turn my head
I see, as clear as clear can be

Upon the mantelpiece she sat
She whispered and held me tight
As gentle as a rippling stream
As turgid as the night

She taught me things I never knew
And things I'd never seen
She took me high, took me low
And everything in between

She'd walked these floors a million miles
But I wouldn't let her win
She'd kissed my lips, a million smiles
No, I never let her in

I let her go, she had to leave
She said our time was done
I didn't fight, put up a fuss
She said that I had won

Lying awake in this interminable nite
Wondering where the hell she'd be
I stare and stare at that darn draw
At the very worst in me

    A moving poem that I'm sure many people can relate to. having thrown away there love or broken up and then wondering where there at and missing them more and more every day. It starts by getting rid of the memories but then they come back and haunt us in photos and other stuff. Anyway you did a great job describing this and I was really pulled into this poem which is unusual for love poems since I don't like them that much. The flow was amazing and it kept the readers attention on the poem from the beginning stanza all the way to the end. An over all emotion filled poem that had many meanings and things you can learn from it. Great job and keep writing.
