a could not… (a poem)
Apr 16th, 2010 by Norman
I’ve made a few minor changes to this poem:
I quite like it…
a could not: (an ugly piece)
I came here like a falling star
but could not mend a broken heart
I was caught within a fairytale
enthralled by hope
and wound around me like a shroud
the me to which I’m bound
was a string of mixed metaphors
mixed and empty
I leave here less then stardust
an ember
an embryo
promise of a better day beyond the sky
I came here as a falling star
to mend a broken heart
and couldn’t even make a start
I could not
