Complacency

by Sean Allen   Sep 30, 2006


As the last ember dies,
your lips slowly part
and in the echoes of a sigh
I finally realize

this complacency was a lie;

all I've ever learned
from the things I'll never try
and all I've ever known
from tears I'll never cry

is that all I can take away
is that this feeling won't ever stay.

This complacency was a lie.

    A nice piece of poetry with a great flow. To regret the things we've never know is a great choice for a poem.

    It was sad and powerful, yet it still had somewhat of a delicate beauty as well. The first line was my favorite. Keep it up
