Close enough to hurt

Close enough to hurt

A Poem by mendedwords

These are the moments when simple conversations turn claustrophobic,

When downtime runs with longstanding

Regrets, and time laps around these legs.

Almost a reoccurring weakness

Which can enter the mind

While enjoying the company.

Almost always this lasts the longest,

Burns the brightest,

Falls the farthest,

First attempt at trying to tie meaning to a vain rope;

Hanging far off the first glimpse of safety.
