retracings

 she cared so much
for you

eloquent words from
years of pain

i read them again and again

torturing myself
i suppose

after all, i'm different
or so i'd like to think

don't dive into the drink
too many times, poet

you're all the same to me

(redundance)

  1. The poem gave me a couple of references, or rather, recollections:
    "I have my books/and my poetry/to protect me" - from our old friends Paul & Art; and the quirky thought that the advice to poets came too late for Shelley, tho Byron might scoff.

    I hope you are doing well. I do enjoy reading your lines . . . .
