After The Fall

http://youtube.com/watch?v=QrGgDX_LolM    (Send the Pain Below ~ Chevelle)


It’s better this way…
 

 

I wouldn’t want

to get attached to your voice,

when you say, “I love you, darling.”,

 

…to your skin

so deliriously close to mine.

 

I wouldn’t want

to fall out of love with you,

 

leave


our silhouettes

hanging

on a bare nail

in the bedroom closet,

 

worn to shreds.

I like the poem very much

I am intrigued by the question mark at the end....as if qualifying the earlier profession of love. I checked the URL for a clue, and it did nothing for me...in fact the music was awful....but that's just old stodgy me. I suspect there is more to this story. Yours in peace, (Cynthia McKinney for president) Synchro

Dean …. The question was

Dean .... The question was the answer I posted in the little box after the poem. I saw how it looked, that it might be mistaken for the last sentence of the poem...then thought, what the hey.... so it made it more interesting for you, eh? There's always more to any story than what we suspect. For sure! ~Anna
