Reasoning Did Recall

Escaping, such a rush.

It was the last time, I realize now that you had ever said hello.
Tomorrow after I'm gone, maybe the world will know.
Compete with me for my novelty's, my crimes and inhibitions.
Run to this tree, and let the world see...
that what we did was good, outstanding in fact.
But not enough to seek true perfection of a life, torn and hacked.
And I'm wishing that the sweeper would come soon, as I live amongst these shards of glass.
These detailed moments lift my spirits as you wait for my return.
But i have gone, left. And i have never slept less.
Than when we were together
Than when you hit the wall, and my reasoning did recall...
the moments before having ever lived at all.
So i walk down these steps leaving everything with no regret
a life of turtle necks, hiding the bruises that never slept.

Took reader to many places and situations. It felt like a lead for the complete story. The description open the door to sad visions. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

You've cleverly connected bits of topics that would not be intertwined by the common mind had you not written this. Well done, and a brilliant job indeed.
