Forgive. Forget.
Live. Regret
Life is so full of
choices,
laughter,
smiles,
loving who you are.
Every second
tick of a clock
pass by
slowly
each sand grain
lapping up time.
Spitting out
words that tear
and tatter
violently painting images,
creating,
writing,
Write.Write.Write
Time slows
I do not.
write forever
Words,
Emotions,
Life.
Forgive. Forget.
Live. Regret.
Life is so full of
choices
I absolutely love this poem! I love how you set it up; and how it is worded! I wish that I could set and write poems such as yours!
ReplyDeleteThe first stanza, to me, is the most powerful by far. I've recently had to make some tough decisions regarding friendships, but you just need to keep living life. Some choices will be upsetting to make, but in the end everything makes you who you are.

ReplyDeleteGreat diction via "lapping up time." The repetition also serves as the twine to tie up the piece. Great job!
