I Tried To Leave

Surrounded and distracted to a fault the mayhem of your love strenuates me I abrogate my feelings towards you not to wound you only wherefore I may breathe. Petulant indignation on your brow is lovelier than that tiresome doting kiss And now I venture towards things unallowed; previous to this day I, you would miss, so dreadfully it seemed a very sin that I should with my friends enjoy a night. You doubtless lay awake and cry within- this image from my mind I cannot fight I drink until I blackout at your door requiring the verve of your love's ardor.

Evelyn, Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
