    To give it all up.

    My heart is breaking
    as I reach for you
    tears that threaten to fall
    sobs that I choke down
    My body aches to the thought
    that you are doing nothing
    you are just letting everything fall
    My head is spinning
    with worry
    My throat burns as I struggle for a
    breath of life
    and yet through all of this I don't understand
    why, why you haven't helped?
    a bitter laugh escapes my lips at the thought
    that you are doing this to make me come to you
    to reach out to
    well this is certainly some way to make me take your hand
    to rip a part the last bit of everything I have
    sure seems like a great way
    and yet with some foolish comfort I know you'll make it all better
    I continue to listen to that impossible little voice in my head
    that tells me to give it all to you
    to let go
    and I think o.k...
    let's see if I can do this
    let's see what you are gonna do
    though the other voice in my head is wondering
    How in the world am I just going to watch this?
    I have no idea

    excellent word expresssion!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
