Wasting Away

Folder: 
August 2003 Poetry

Slowly... oh so slowly,

wasting... wasting away.

Deteriorating... into nothing.

My heart... corroding.

My soul... dissolving.

Slowly... oh so slowly,

wasting... wasting away.

Gone... gone... gone...

gone... away.

Hi Jill-
This poem I find both very simple and effective. I feel like I understand totally where you were through your words. Wistful, sad...
Well done and not overdone!

I even felt the need to read it slowly as if wasting away. Little poems like this make words a joy. Just the way they are set up...very nice
