It's been awhile

It's been awhile

A Poem by Lily E. Lin

 Since the last goodbye
The last floating pointer,
Last tic of the clock
Pens down, you're done
It's been awhile, since
You took a breath 
Breathe in, sigh, bitter
Cold entering the shallow passageways
Traversing back alleyways
Through branching twisting tracheids
Shivering bronchial forests
Drop down, shaken leaves
Onto tepid waters forgotten
Dust clumping to gray lumps
Bundles of mass hiding potential malignancy
Just waiting, withholding breaths,
for the last word, for last goodbyes
For its been awhile

Wow, I almost passed out, the rythym of this wouldn't allow me to take a breath until it was done, thank god it wasn't a loooong poem.

Love the energy of your style. I think you just rewired my synapses, their were misfiring before I read this... not now.

Awesome.

I suppose I should talk a bit about myself. Writing has long been one of my outlets of expression. I write to vent. That said, I enjoy the intricacies of the word, though it may be a double edged s.. more..
