a starting line with no end -- strong start
when will you grow into your height?
when your knees hit your chest and your tears leave your eyes
you shrink smaller
soften a bit
yet your solid outside remains -- Agree that this line seems awkward
a hard-boiled egg--
shell on
i can not crack you open -- the problem I have with this line is that 'hard-boiled eggs' are extremely easy to crack open and there the analogy fails, perhaps a different analogy.
not that i even want to
i held you gently even as you dragged me down
i sung in your ear as you mangled my sence of reality -- good line, 'mangled' is a strong word. sense??
you are magical--
a miraculous success it was
how well you did
not only did you unwind the yarn
but you pulled at the fibers
absolutely destroyed it
until it was unrecognizable
i am unrecognizable
the woman i am today
little me
yes, little me
i grow taller
and i hope you don't grow cold in my shadow
but still, i have enough God in my heart that i'd wish warmth for you
and i remember the warmth i owe you everytime i say: -- every time - two separate words
...forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us -- these two lines should be either in quotation marks or italics as it is a quote from a prayer
because in the end -- consider changing 'because'
its your faults, my anger, your shame, my bitterness
and it kills
it kills
it kills.
Thanks for the read
