Almost Goodnight
Fuck, You are so hard to say goodnight to
And if I keep talking I will regret it
I will say let’s be friends
I might say I love you
I might say I fear you
I might say your the one for me
Thus it is good night and so long
But there you go keep typing
I hope for a question that will keep me
That I have to type one more message
One more never hurt
But then one more is all night
All night is scratting at all day
All day is pawing for something more
Something more leads to forever
It keeps coming back to that forever
And if I keep talking I will regret it
I will say let’s be friends
I might say I love you
I might say I fear you
I might say your the one for me
Thus it is good night and so long
But there you go keep typing
I hope for a question that will keep me
That I have to type one more message
One more never hurt
But then one more is all night
All night is scratting at all day
All day is pawing for something more
Something more leads to forever
It keeps coming back to that forever

I can so relate to this one ... done the very same thing. There is such immediacy and accessibility in this poem. Bravo!

You are so right. For me the hardest part is facing them and then getting up the courage to share them

I find it helps that no one know me on here really so they are not going to judge.

Sometimes a curse word has meaning. Sometimes it has many meanings. Sometimes they are just needed.

I know what this feels like. Something I dearly miss. You capture it well.

Thank you. Apparently this poem hit home for so many writers like yourself. I hope you are able to find that kindled fire with someone again.
