I Wish You Knew Me Now

Something of a thorn.

07/07/13

 

I wish you knew me now,

Even through my tears,

As you peruse my

Public music accounts

And surf my social network,

“Buying” me as a pet

Between my true friend

‘Buying‘me back.

I wish I could sear into you

My pain, my pleasure, my knowing.

I wish you may know Regret

Truly, as I do.

I stood suredly before you,

Through you, and even now

Despite you.

I wish that you could see

And it injure you in a way

Beyond your PTSD;

That you could taste my bile

And would then iterate to me its flavor.

Afterall, so much more than my guitar

Lies bleeding in these arms.

[Allen Smuckler]

reminds me of "while My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles
This is such an honest and sincere write Melo..
You lay it out for ALL to see and in return cathartically and finally, you can let go...and alas you can see. Though the pain remains, it will diminish, fade and eventually disappear into the memories you want to remember. We tun the page to the next chapter in our lives.
Writing this is the first step...and a beautiful, bold step it is.

Powerful stuff...love and regret should not be so emotionally entwined yet they are for so many people, virtually everyone I'd say...thanks for sharing Mel :)

[Leslie Philibert]

What I like here is the way you present emotions in the way they are nowadays transported, through
social media, a young person`s poem that excellently presents the way we live and feel now..

Thank you Leslie. Xo.

Should it be irascibility or bodily secretion you would like her/him to taste, only one thing stands out - bitterness. This is avant-garde and I liked it.

[Melobldnfr]

I find what you have said here to be an incredible compliment. Thank you so much! Xo.

My pleasure, Mel.

This is a very haunting piece, that I think is written beautifully. Well done!
