My own sad poems
are getting on my last nerve
making me want to stop
writing, but I promised
I would keep writing
and since I've broken
so many promises
and suffered so under
the weight of the breaking
I'll just have to dance
on these nerves
until the poetry doesn't
irritate them so much

I'll just have to dance on these nerves...yes (and the song does change). Love you.
ReplyDeleteI love you back. Thank you for bearing witness... and I pray you are right that "the song does change." In the meantime, the words all seem trite and redundant, on repeat... and getting on my last nerve :).
