This blockade you have put up
Is your front against the world
It holds you in
And holds me out
You quiver behind the wall
Wanting
But never taking
Or giving
In one swift
You rip the wall down
Inviting me in
For pleasure of the heavens
On the edge of ecstasy
Away from the pain
That put the wall in place
You pull me in
But I am reluctant
Rushing?
On a whim?
My heart races
As my hands shake
Away from what was at the start
Kelly's body still lies in the tub of my mind
Her black fingernails seep
Through in the water
I think of her
I think of you
My name on the back of her neck
Oh Kelly
Ay Maria
Double Indemnity of a screen
Don Juan?
The water on my floor
Has pooled in to blood
The blood from her lifeless body
Curled up within my heart
Do I enter?
Are you sure?
Regret- you claim not to have
My heart sinks
Up or down?
Left or right?
Right or wrong?
Kelly............
A funeral too early
And a love too late
The look in your eyes
Filled with premonitions
About the love I try to give
Don't make me
Make the mistake
That puts up another wall
Author notes
This about someone that had a wall, and was very protective of that wall, then ripped it down and acted as if it wasn't there. This poem looks at the pain that comes with deciding what to do when that wall comes down suddenly.
In a list

So if I understand this right this one person had a wall and didnt want something to happen and suddenly changed their mind and your confused? And I'm so sorry about Kelly. You didn't deserve that. No one ever shoudl of had to go through that. But you AP family is here for you!!!!!

Indeed. I'm left with my mouth hanging open and I want to..but I don't want to make a mistake. And yeah, I felt the need to inculde Kelly in this poem only because she is still on my mind 24/7. I'm still not okay with what happened but I cannot change the past, no matter how painful it turned out to be. Great job on picking up on the messages.

I lik this, its an interesting write, but you have a very special talent with words. Many people write and their poems are only words but your is alive. Nicely done.
