Two Words

You cry
I cry
You ask
I lie
You love
I pretend
You begin
I end
You give
I take
a little
some more
You shimmy
I shake
Why not?
What for?
You push
I choke
You breathe
I smoke
Angel angel
Ugly bloke
Run away
my baby
Run away
Get in
Get on
Get gone
Temper thin
Pain prolonged
Shuffling along
My face
Your smile
Your inch
My mile
Your heart
My sleeve
You start
I leave
True love
true lies
One moon
Two skies
One poem
Two knives
Now hush
No more
Be still
Be pure
Maybe she'll
remember you
as you
were before.

  1. amazing use of brevity. always amazes me how sometimes the more concise the work, the more emotive and descriptive it can in fact be.
