Not so different

You - Angel, and I
we aren't much different
both fearing love

You, the attic for memories
always chasing past
holding Lost Things' hand

I, the trash can for feelings
always chasing perfectness
holding Sadness' hand

Good writing and bitter-sweet...... One could read a lot in between the lines...

I love the comparison. Like conversing with an Angel. Sweet yet a little bitter.

[burnhouse]

Oh, thanks. :)

I'll admit that I found it interesting the you chose to use the word "perfectness" rather than "perfection"...it stops the reader in their tracks and makes them ponder. Your friend in words, Pete

Zhank you very much, Pete.

[Simon Welsh]

There are many reasons to fear love.

[Pryde Foltz]

The angels do cry and fall, don't they. Deep write.

[burnhouse]

Yes, sadly. Thank you.

[Zach]

You give 2 great reasons for not finding love: holding on to the past and seeking perfection. Chaseing things you can never obtain. Its short, sweet, and to the point, but very honest.

[burnhouse]

Thank you, Zach.

I can see this as something in that happened in my past. I truly do love this poem. Great job.

[burnhouse]

I'm glad you like it. :)

[Joe O]

Oh I did very much.

[Sheila Kline]

You're right in that you are not that much different. You both fear love, but in a way that brings the two of you together from opposite ends of the heart. A fear of love prevents one from moving forward to a solid relationship!

[burnhouse]

Thank you for that comment.

[Adam Crate]

This was a good read. I like the way that it flows and develops. "You, the attic for memories" was my favorite line. When you tied it into "lost things" I think that added a lot of depth. It leaves a lot to ponder.

[burnhouse]

Thank you very much. :D
