be

1/8th of an inch

you have been inside of me for nearly four weeks
a grain of being, part of we

and when Monday comes
it will just be me
they will rip you out
so i can be free

there is a jungle
a circus
a fair full of life
and i cannot bring you with me

Thank you for finding me.

Wow, I just read all your work, you write beautifully. There's a wildness contained like a tornado in form.

This is gorgeous, like a drop of water, but so sad. I'm sorry.

But it follows what I feel about writing too, record everything, sadness and beauty, milk it all and capture the living truth. to share.

Don't worry, I'll just hop in the suitcase and you'll never know I'm there until we're there! Joking aside, this is a very detailed poem. though i hate interpreting a writers works, i'd think that something happened in which you were torn apart from a loved one. or you could have been what i do in most of my poems and just make a scene and write how i'm influenced for that temporary being; nevertheless, this poem is amazing. 8/10.

No matter how sad our choice,
the choice has been made.
There is yesterday and it is past. Nothing
can change yesterday, it is history.
There is tomorrow and we can`t know until
tomorrow what will happen, but
There is today and today is all that matters.
Please don`t cry. Today was all yours and
nobody made you cry today.

Wow. That was incredibly sad, and seemed to be very personal.
It's amazing how such a short and simple piece like this can have so much meaning to it.
I could tell how much emotion you put into the poem, and I appreciate that.
