off away

off away

A Poem by Not Afraid of Bruises

It's gunna be a long, long day

I can feel it now like I can feel rain

and why can't I be sure of other things

happy things, not this.

 

Don't let it happen like this,

not between us...

keep the lines

humming, keep me reaching

out for whatever it is that you give

that lets me live.

 

Just a little longer

just a tiny bit farther before

we are there, can't you feel the air?

I have never felt air like this, air

that seems to miss you

before you've even gone away.

 

don't go away...

This piece really resonates with a piece I wrote last night. I loved it. The oly thing I would change would be "gunna" to "gonna". : )
