that path
to right back
is nothin' really
but a dead end
I should have known that
lettin' up slack
would push the limit
of us being friends
i let my guard down
and set my heart up
another sad clown
under your bigtop
undone, the healing
that sent me reeling
back to that moment
lost in the feeling
i don't remember
can't remember who i was
in that picture, deadly mixture
with a little buzz
but the truth, the gospel truth
is comin into view
i know i played the fool
and fell for you
but now we're through
cause...
that path
to right back
is nothin' really
but a dead end

Sometimes you got to shake the dust off.... Beautiful and heartfelt, Kelli. Really well done!
This was so profound. Loved your poem!
One of your best, here!!! Bravo
"i let my guard down / and set my heart up" Two short lines that speak volumes. Well done, Kelli!
Friendship with all the ups and downs.
