so you keep telling me

song on repeat. you sing the words to my face. keep on telling me. and i might start to believe you. where you ever anything more than a beat to dance to. was i ever more than a heartbeat to fall in love with. we danced around this pain. this heartbreak. this grand canyon cutting through our dreams. song on repeat. i sing the words behind your back. keep on telling myself. one day i might believe it. my dance was never in tune to your beat. pulse with pulse. beat on beat. turn off the lights. lasers glowing. disco ball broken on the floor. song on repeat. we scream the words at each other. i believe you. broken hearts pumping. the beat we now dance to.

I can feel so much happening in this poem and I love how you related it to a song you hear over and over. Sometimes those lyrics speak to us in the perfect way, then other times, we don't want to hear another note played. Such a great tie into a relationship that is clearly in need of a new tune. Well done!

Too rearly...I am working too hard to complete a job because we are moving home in a few weeks and we are up at the new place sorting a few things out..the candle is definitely burning at both ends..Good job I am a well qualified decorator..there is so much to do

Oh, moving is such a bother sometimes. But fun when you're all done.

Hi Yheela,
Your usual very emotive, passionate portrayal of love explored and examined and questioned.

[Yheela]

I could do happily-ever-after, but that gets boring after a while (to write about that is). ^_^

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I agree we should write both sides. Besides your writing is so enjoyable. Hey check out Claire Twinn. We work together and she is an ex teacher! her writing is stunning!

[Yheela]

Will do!
