Past Forward
I try to move past you
Past.
You.
I tell myself it's all in
my head
If I just stop
trying
If I just keep
moving
It'll even out
I'll see
I try to slide by you
to miss you
(I miss you)
Shivers of desire,
bristles of knowing
Something
isn't safe
Something
will change
Something is going
forward

Such effective line breaks, which make this work so well *
"Something is going
forward"
Yes.
Ain't it the truth.*
Timely poem! Love the title.
Those first three lines--so powerful! Great to watch this poem go forward.
Thank you for the comments, all. Your feedback is always valuable and appreciated ❤️
Enjoyed this piece - especially the ending:
"Something
will change
Something is going
forward"
Closing on the word "forward" is great. *
Love this :)
