Like A Lamb

 

I've weighed your pros and cons

  I held them above me like a lamb

 I sifted through your eyes and found the core

The being

The purpose

The hurt and the condemnation

 

If I sacraficed myself

On the alter of your pain

Could I take the life away

Replace it with a new

 

         Tell me lovely one

What was the worth

Of the two nights that we spent

 

          If I could draw like you

       I would wither away and die

 

                          If I could be a con

                         You would hear my sweetest sigh

 

              Unfortunately there is truth

            In every move I make

 

And what you saw was what you got

and now I'll take it all away

Reviews

[Kaylor Mason]

This was really good. I like how the poem builds up on layers, then crashes down--sort of like climbing an endless snowy hill only to sled down the other side. Nice work

[James Paulin]

You build your poems like an architect designs contemporary structures. I like the way your themes play out and your use of form. I know it takes planning and vision to excel in unconventional style as you have. Congratulations!

This poem was very very incredible.

I can definitely sense the intimacy in this poem, and the layers that we put over ourselves when we are intimate. Great write!

I loved this poem I liked the structure and flow of this poem and the emotions that are emitted really makes me wish this poem was longer a great job and I look forward to reading more of your work to capture my imagination
