Nanoseconds



Rupturing a heart
watching it explode
a million pieces gone
a million more to go
chanting an anthem
commanding the pain to go
i stand still
the emotions flow
staring at a reflection
willing for it to change
...................................... a penny for your thoughts
the stranger exclaimed
bringing up a smile
on a tarnished face
................................. All goes on
on its usual pace
no the world doesnt stop
to acknowledge your pain
.............................. It lets you go
so that you can let go
living the life
one nanosecond at a time

Last line from me?

But the mood fo poem is nice. Starts from self, shifts to the other and comes back. :-)

One nano at a time.

Good to see the T S Eliot influence on modern poetry waning and the romantic era re-surfacing with a modern touch

I always wished if "letting go" could be simpler!
