Glue

Think of it as
Drano and plastic,
To cover your hands in,
For a few minutes

So hold to me
Three or four fingers
And keeping track,
For every sinner

Watch,
As he kept playing
With some ultimatums
Accusing me for taking what's his
The last time I was there,
When the walls had been rebuilt

And painted red,
Or any color --
You know it does not come to this
You know it would not come to this
He kicks me out, he slams the door
So I saw the sinners
That make the place a place

And I'd felt better when he told me,
"No, you are too fragile
To get out, to see
The place that we were born"

And I say it to the ones who gave in.
Oh, there was a reason
And another reason not to stay
Maybe you are just too young.
Maybe you should pray.

And, there will be time
To think for yourself
And imagine you feel the proper moment to
Grasp at glory, open the door
Get in the car
Take it upon yourself
To take on a story

Enough is enough
You must keep to you, solely
And when you sleep there will be time
For wondering if you're even growing

You question that
And he just says,
"No, you are too fragile to get out,
and see the place that we were born."

Nothing holds the words together like glue
Nothing holds the words together like you, do

Fresh and bold! Super job!

[Undying Glory]

now this was just awesome, very nice writing here. i love how you've crafted a very nice poem from a seemingly very mundane word. "Glue"...now how much interest does that word generate on its own? not very much...until one reads this poem that is!
"You question that
And he just says,
"No, you are too fragile to get out,
and see the place that we were born."

Nothing holds the words together like glue
Nothing holds the words together like you, do"
