Hey there

by Melissa   Sep 13, 2007


Hey there best friend
could you possibly wag your sharp tongue
just a little to the left,
I don't think you've mangled my heart enough-

at least not yet

There's still a faint beat
tickling these fingertips
with a wry truth
I'm afraid to scratch off

and wonder is itching me
like a sunburn
far beneath the flesh
where it won't peel away

it just festers and aches, how painful

    Wow, this piece is amazing, truly excellently written. I can deeply relate to it. Whole poem contains great atmosphere and every stanza is very effective, filled with emotions.
    My favorite part is:

    -Hey there best friend

    The line -at least not yet- adds great effect to the atmosphere and the flow of whole piece.

    5/5 from me

    I love the sarcasm in this Melissa - It cuts as well as the "sharp tongue" And your use of language is first rate!
