Leaking!

Hand me that wrench

I'm going to close this pipe up.

God knows I've had enough of you!

 

Give me that towel

I'm going to dry this mess up.

Stand there

Don't let me see you move.

 

You don't think!

You don't consider!

You just dive crazily out of impluse.

 

Then when you're being dragged to the bottom of reality

I'm the only one drowning with you.

And I'm tired of this!

 

I think!

I consider!

I don't dive cause nobody is guaranteed to be by your side- I depend on ME!

 

But you're free spirited...

You trust...

You're willing to love-

 

And damn it thats why I'm lying here drenched in fears!

Listening to the tears as they "Dip...dip...drip..."

Drowning me in sorrow.

 

But I've had enough of this, I wouldn't say it again!

Hand me that wrench so I can close this pipe up.

Get those towels, WE'RE going to clean this mess up.

 

I know you love to wallow in this defeat,

But if you try to stop me,

I will cut you out myself...

I like the tools you used to set the stage. It's a strong and powerful poem with excellent imagery and delivery. I really enjoyed reading this!

I like this poem. Sometime the truth will set us free and allow us to lose some dead weight. I like how you used the wrench and the pipe to make the point strong and clear. A very good ending to a excellent poem.
