The Burning

Just like the sun, you appear bright and bold, and warm
You brighten my days , you fill up my cup
We have coffee, we feel the heat, until
Something goes wrong the cup and saucer shatter
Across the floor, the burning now inside your face
Your anger out of control, what has gone wrong
I find we have no place, the dominoes now fall in disorder
I can not see the highway ahead, though i will try taking it
But I am afraid he will keep me from it
My skin is bruised, heart more, for I still love him. but I am burnt out like the candles
I don't want to be like this, I would rather follow the spider i nto his hole

The fish of the sea

Hi Nancy! I was about to hop off to bed so you got me just in time XD, I was so glad I chose to read this one too. I really love how you compared emotions to real life. The alternation and speed of your poem makes it feel like a dream. Just fantastic poetry! Fab write.
