I tried

Like my last poem, "unsuspecting"... this is more of a rant than anything else. I had to get it out!

Everywhere I go, there you are

For better or for worse

shifty eyes

body language

Action, Action

yet

Where are you?

Where is the girl 

Who let

herself

fall down

Laughter, up the walls

instead

sent our

affinity

to stumble, tumble, dive

clawing nails of fury through our sacred parachute

Today, I am hurt. In my destitution, desperate salvage, reaching for this tattered binding of petty tattered, spattering words

open for a blank slate

to stumble, tumble, dive 

into the list we made

yesterday's intention, today's forever

       today's stained

                               stained forever

Wow. Powerful emotions bleed through the word in this piece. The whole thing shines...the last 3 lines are sad and BRILLIANT.
Nicely done.
