sometimes

straightforward.

sometimes
the things you (don't) say
leave me hanging
off
the
edges
of
question marks.

 

and I wonder:
would you
even want to
kiss
the shells of my
eyelids,
only closed as offerings?

 

did you know that
there are veins
inside?
that my
heart
beats
there
too?

Author's Note

I don't usually write poetry with line breaks.

I like how you did the line breaks in the first paragraph. It really highlights what you wanted to say. Great job! I can't wait to see your more recent stuff.

I really admire the depth in this piece! The way you described things was remarkable.it hurts to know that people forget what parts of us are still alive.

Fragile and human. This was a really sweet, sensitive write.

I really like this! The uncertainty and angst comes through beautifully. The line spacing is great, too :)
