Silverfish

Matters Uneasy

I love enough to trust
But I care more, so I’m afraid
Of the darkened past
That could still last
And leave you once more frayed
 
You’d think I were an idiot
If I brought it to your face
And maybe I’m a fool
Or, god forbid, a tool
But even still
It wouldn’t kill
To let my fears touch base
 
It’s not so much, I’ve come to see,
The losing you that worries me
Moreso I want to see you strong
Living healthy, lasting long
 
And as you’ve said, your past is clear
In that you one time held such danger dear
So is it unjust,
Does it violate trust
To be scared for what I can’t keep near?
 
I love you so,
I hope you know
Or such matters would be easy
But because I say
I’d not betray
Such things leave me feeling sleazy

Hi there C Knappe!
I've actually been meaning to reply to you recently both on here and your own poetry; the holidays tend to keep a manager busy XD
I really appreciate the kind words; keep up the good work and I'll come along and give feedback when I finally get a chance to sit down and do so! :D

Dream of the Gardener

Lo, and did the garden sing From the meticulation of my toil; That in my dreams, it came to me And took on skin as its new soil. Escape my chest, from waxing heart

The Great What-If

Ladies, and the gentler soul; give the floor to The Great What… Fill your sure with uncertainty; I could twist your every wish. Tugging at your collar bone,
A Bitter Curse Diminished, Everything's Fine

As you leave, A black cloud enters And everything that was good is go… Because I feel the need to watch Beget by never having watched;

The stars are out in full tonight, Their bright eyes looking down on… As we play our nervous games What do you think they see? Maybe they gain some wisdom

You hear it always in the news We’re fighting for red, white and… Give me access to a bullet, Labeled with my choice of gun. Send me to the battlefront,

Push the engines forward, engaging full thrust. The eagle long since landed; what frontier could be left for us… If your goal’s to take the pain
