What about now?

by Poet on the Piano   Jan 1, 2012


Whatever happened to
we can do it all....
we've nailed falling in love
but somehow we've been caught up
in words that we failed to breathe in-
can it truly be too late for us?
I've asked you time again
to never let me go.....
and you always seem to test my limits.

How about now
to try to withdraw my heart?

    I wanted to say.... that is such a reminiscent poem filled with anguish and concealed melancholy.

    Whatever happened to
    we can do it all....

    ^ It's great quoting the lover, reminding him of the promises/vows you made together. With this you'd be subliminally telling him: you're a liar.

    we've nailed falling in love
    but somehow we've been caught up
    in words that we failed to breathe in-

    ^ My favorite part!!!! so smooth, it went... yet I can hear the sadness dripping from your tone.

    can it truly be too late for us?

    ^ questions spice the feelings up. great step.

    I've asked you time again

    ^ I can't understand the structure here. maybe 'times' without 'again'.. or 'ago' without 'again'?

    to never let me go.....
    and you always seem to test my limits.

    ^ Interesting thought.

    How about now
    to try to withdraw my heart?

    ^ A question.. amazing way to end a poem.

    Great short piece MaryAnne. Keep writing like them:)
