Bury and Forget

By glasshouse

Breathe it in
the air might well
be poison anyway

cut it short
and save yourself
from pain in light of day

soak it up
you may not know
a darker side of love

push it down
it isn't something
made to rise above

-and its a maze
amazing you could make it

it's a lie
so just lie down and take it

at a loss
for words to make it better

bear the cross
then bury and forget her-

    shadows slipping along a thin ledge of sadness, causes a lot of mind and heart turning... over and around... drifting deeper... nicely done hun

    A cross, my shield on the altar of her neck .. Came to think of that Sean Penn movie line. I do not think there is actual death in this poem however. The msg seems more of a personal breakup related poem to a friend.

    Still I wonder and I think the question makes the poem stronger.
