(In)-(Re)-flection

By veingo

There are things to be said in a stern voice.

"Back off"
"I said NO"
"This is your last warning"

There are things to be said in jest.

"How would YOU know?"
"So's your mom"
"That's what she said"

Some things should be said with a submissive honor.

"I apologize"
"I didn't mean it"
"I love you"

Others, should infer compassion.

"Don't cry honey"
"It'll be ok"
"I won't leave you"

And then there's poetry.

So what you think
will be a link
to all, through out the ages.

Can't bear to speak?
Than scream in ink,
and bleed upon the pages.

    Those last three lines seriously gave me chills. You are such a poet and this just proves it even more. It's like you exactly what to say and that's a gift that not many have. Love it.
