Inside My Aching Justification - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

just another mental image
of all that could have been
one more thought of things gone wrong
while the whole world starts to spin

the one who helped me
once out from underneath
the one who nursed me
as i left her from beneath

all the things we can't forgive
i have done them all to her
all the words we can't take back
i have said them all to her

i want to pay her back
for every single thing
but all i seem to do
is spread the pain i bring
