Delicate

Where you were concerned, I floated

Treading in shoes made of marshmallow and dryer lint

Holding taught my own shadow 

Not wanting to add to the weight of your worry

You uttered another name under your breath

I strapped on my hob nailed boots and crushed your intentions

Realizing in hindsight, that I was the one who was...

Delicate

I think i may have been feeling like this for a long time. Im so busy living....that Im deadwalking......

[William Michael Reeves]

Ouch! Wouldn't your shadow stick to the marshmallow lint? Or maybe they dried out in the wind of worry. Stale. Hard enough to nail hobs into your heart. Hope you gained some foresight out of the experience.

I wish I was strong enough to bring out the boots in a situation like that. More likely I would get put on a stick and roasted over the campfire. Dryer Lint burns quickly! Thank you kindly!

"You can bend me, you can break me but you gotta' stand clear when the walls come tumbling down..." If she yells your best friend's name in the sack, you've most likely got a problem. Next time you're in the sack with her yell the same best friend's name. That will put her off for a bit. (laughing) I know, I know, not very "delicate". ;)

[Crowley]

Lol...I find that kind of delicacy all too intruiging. Thanks Fabian!

[Chris Shaw]

Oh my, that's a no no. Calling out the wrong name. Does that really happen or is it just in the movies? Your last lines, just perfect although I felt the pain.

Thank you Chris!! I had a girlfriend call me her exs name during an argument. We both stopped looked at each other, I said “I win” and walked off.

[Chris Shaw]

You handled that, just ace:)

When they say the wrong name, they're asking for the jackboots. You know what they say the road to hell is paved with.

[Crowley]

I always wondered why the road to hell was paved at all…lol. Thanks!

Souls now tethered tare both hearts once rent.
The layed out is perfect. The blending of facts and sorrows and the truth found to late.

[Crowley]

Thanks luv!!!! It always good to see you!

It's funny I was just thinking of such an occasion the other day, It's even worse when it happens repeatedly, ouch. Cracking some walnuts. Good times. Ps I loved this because I'm feeling a little delicate myself :D

[Crowley]

Hey you!!! Great to see you! Yeah, I get to feeling that way sometimes, usually ends up in anxiety of some form or another. Thank you for reading!

[Corset]

:D Hey you to you too!!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

someone uttering another name...worst hurt....or looking at a letter left out in the open that says...I will see the other guy in NY and this guy won't ever know...what he doesn't know won't hurt him.

RIGHT.
those boots were made for crushing, and that's just what they'll do...

Lol…I don’t like to lose my s**t, but it has happened. Thanks Jacob!

The name caught my attention! This little poem is sad. You think you're not the one that is delicate until something stops your heart, and then you realize you are the delicate one! Really enjoyed it piece!

[Crowley]

Thanks!!! I appreciate the read and yes the situation is a little sticky.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

My pleasure!
