Sand Drawn Map to the Antidote as the Tide Comes In
By Dilated View
I am in the way again
I'm nothing when I look in your eyes
You're changing shape
Your great escape
You are my distant
shoreline
I would walk away from this
If I could forget
Buried in my mind
I find
Sabotage
Celebrates
Infancy
Sentient
Symmetry
Searching inside
I find
My habitat
Cannot support
Such
Subdued
Sympathy
You are my lack of remorse
You are my faltering
flame
You are my constant struggle
You are my permanent
shame
If I fail would you forgive me
For not living
out your dreams?
I am in the way again
I'm nothing when
I dance on your strings
You're in my head
Your bitter end
You are my love that won't sing
I would live to fight another
day
If I could focus
Buried in my mind
I find
Treachery
Subtly
Matures
Signifies
Savagery
Searching inside
I find
My abhorrence
Cannot
ignore
Such
Scorn
Selectively
You are my
radiant sun
You are my silent decay
You are my poignant
poison
You are my mistrusting gaze
You are my crashing
footsteps
You are my seething laughter
You are my lasting answer
You are my last disaster
If I fall would you forgive me
For landing just short of the worst you bring?

Everything about this poem.....oh man.....the title, the conflicting lines, the alliteration, the format......it's just perfect. I saw two people talking to each other before they realize that they are looking in the mirror and are in fact, one person.

you go on such unchartered introspective journeys.. with all the twists and turns that i am afraid of... i feel this struggle.. like watching someone balled up and fighting the unseen, unable to help....

the title piqued me; and the write pried me open. your structure gives a steady unsurity; a thunder to the underlying hurt, underlining the questions with.in and out.side a self. well done.
