Matchstick Life

A poem. Nothing more. I swear. Don't read into it.

We're matchstick lives
Strike anywhere
Watch as we burn
Alone, together
Is it their words
That keep us apart
A stone in the throat
Will we be as one
Like we are
under our skin
Cripple our fingers
So we can't hold on
Just close your eyes
Forget to remember
And go to sleep.

I agree. I like the term. "matchstick lives'. A old one with great meaning. I like the thoughts and the leftover thoughts for the reader to ponder. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I really liked this poem. I was imagining Eminem's song with Rhianna Love the way you Lie. I wanted to talk about one of the lines in your poem, "a stone in the throat" I reallly liked how you used that analogy, like the words are weighing down in your stomach and you want nothing more than to just get tthem out. I really liked this and I am so glad you shared with me. Thank you.

i dreams we are together, in reality we are kept apart because words can be used to describe numerous reasons we should not be together...

we are match...and we are struck down by those words, and the relationship burns within those wild dreams of love....and that is all we can remember.

Heck, you should've posted that as a poem, very well written
