Have you ever

Have you ever felt raindrops race tears down your face
Got thrown out of a heart without leaving a trace
Been convinced all you are's a complete waste of space
Found yourself in a world full of fright

Have you ever been so low above lies the floor
Self imploded from trying to stifle your roar
Suffered all you could take then return for some more
Booked the flight when you knew you should fight

Have you ever been willing unable to dare
Suffocated by breathing in putrified air
Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair
Plugged it in settling down for the night

Have you ever been in the wrong place the wrong time
When all reason is lost all that's left is the rhyme
Dig yourself from the basement there's mountains to climb
Shake off feelings still tourniquet tight

Would you ever allow me to take your sweet hand
To a place where the sun kisses toes in the sand
Instantly you'd receive the respect you demand
On our first fated magical night

Damn! I wish I could write like this! This is top-notch on all aspects -- rhyme & rhythm sparking, along with powerful well-crafted truths that are so universal, yet sound like nothing else ever written about it. Love this: "Self imploded from trying to stiffle your roar" (stifle is correct spelling) . . . and "Bought the cushion to match your electrified chair" . . . "Shake off feelings still tourniquet tight" and many more. I would give anything to think up such popping ways to say a thing, over & over like this (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Tepo]

This is a wonderful thing for me to read Margie.
I am extremely grateful for your kindness.
Though having read a few reviews of your own writing, I think you underestimate yourself.
Thank you very much
Also for hug
