Poetic License

For the life of me I cannot remember what particular obsession inspired this poem but it's one of my favorutes. It's not every good. I have better poems in my catologue but this particular one always occurs to me. I have memorized it a little bit and I especially love the italicized text. Every time I recite it to myself, I think who am I kidding, I do hurt. But maybe not as much.

It came from yesterday


To a time that would lead to tomorrow,

To a time that I thought you would find me,

To the time when I would look at you and


Not feel the needle pierce my skin


As I long for a way to say


I do not hurt,


I do not ache,


I do


But not as much.
