(insignificant)

I should have known.

The hand can’t pierce the thorn.

Was it easy to forget?

As simple as a new distraction,

smoke and Moscato?

 

Can one life change another,

walk away and remain the same;

repeating tired cycles,

playing familiar tables,

ignoring the blood on their shoes?

 

Insignificance is worse than heartache,

indifference, the most excruciating pain.

Author's Note

Indulged in a weak moment of self pity...

. expression is the key to transcending all emotions that are not needed ... in fact, they're needed because they need to be expressed ... being human is about exploring significance and insignificance ... here's to finding the significance of insignificance ... especially in exquisite poetry ... such as this post ... absolutely powerful and poignant work ... unforgettable ...

reading your poetry makes me look over my shoulder a little, are you really peering into my world?

I've been wondering and doing the same thing myself of late, we seem to be literally be going through the same emotions, "Insignificance is worse than heartache,
indifference, the most excruciating pain." that is expressed so perfectly.

I, too, think we are going through the same emotions....I could pick that up from your writing as well. It friggin' sucks...

[Corset]

it's does my friend, sucks is definitely the operative word!

The emotions, not your writing...
