Break

Before the silence

After the last word

Before the wave hits the earth

Caught in the silence

Caught in between

The bend before the break

This is the mercy

Not the faith

This is the proof

Not grace

If I never loved you

If I never felt your touch

If I never had to

I know I would have still

Mourned your touch

If it wasn't so worth it

This wouldn't be the bad before the worse

Nor the bend before the break

Author's Note

Basted on a song I listened to about a year ago.

May I ask, what is the poem about, O'Neal? I am curious to know.

[Desiree O'Neal]

This was about this girl leaving this other girl and she was talking about how it was worth being with her even for a little while. It was worth all the pain.

[ZakLeonRamsey]

Like Resa said in the review section, you've nailed it once again.
