Don't Come Any Closer

Don't Come Any Closer

A Poem by Neal S

Wait
Don’t
Come 
One
Step 
Closer
This is something you can’t see
Something you can’t feel
How 
Much 
Can I bleed
These 
Words 
Don’t make any music
You 
Can’t 
Understand this

Very moving. No one can truly understand the pain of another. They can perhaps relate, then again, perhaps not.

Indeed. Thank you for taking the time.
LOVE the vibe here.

"This is something you can't see."
Great line.

Thank you Sir.
An oblique look at personal pain and yet I empathise. Stark and terrifying when this happens but written so well.

Thank you so much Ken.
Just go for a long run myself, in the hope no one catches me.

Indeed. Thanks Paul.
This one hit me rather hard today. A pain so difficult it can't make poetry? An attempt to protect someone from pain or hide in shame?
Tugs at that want inside to soothe or at least bear witness. Few words well used.

I believe we all have been through times like this when we just want to be left alone. Valentine
