Here is something I wrote. I really hesitated before posting, I am kind of shy about my writing. Be gentle with me. - Bluey

Forgiven

For giving me razors in June wrapping
For giving me the rumour I wasn't enough
For giving me nothing at all.
I absolve you from being
the lord of my uglies,
and move a stone over your
child-thin body.
No pipes tonight,
you're buried, not mourned.
Go up in smoke,
I sear shut the wound with
forgiveness
for all you've given
me.

- Bluey.

blue eyes,

I think that too often we shy away from the stuff that's too heavy, too deep for pop appeal. You didn't do that here, and I appreciate that. "you're buried, not mourned"- that's the thousand lies I've told. Thanks for coming up with the line that describes my release.

I look forward to reading more.

Come on, come on! Be good to me...
 
bluey!
i wanted to reply because, first of all, i thought your poem was really good. But also i know about being shy and hesitant to post. i read this forum all the time but have never posted due to just being too damn shy.
i'm glad you were able to do it and i hope you post more!
