Peeling the Pain

Amy Milton Roemer

So
You say you didn’t
Know
So
Here we are on the
Floor
Peeling
Peeling
Peeling the pain
Back

Hey
So you didn’t say
Hey
Here I am and I am
Needing
Needing
Needing the flame back

Backwards is moving
Forward is choosing
Silence is losing

Now
You say you
Want
Now
Here we are on the
Floor
Peeling
Peeling
Peeling the pain
Back

    • Amy Milton Roemer

      Thank you, they often do become songs. I am glad you picked up on that.

      • Edthepoet

        Mine to 😁 although they normally start as lyrics and transform into poetry

        Needing is the deeper emotion. It's like Love vs. Like. Wanting almost always brings pain, for it is shallow.
        Loved the thoughts contained in Backward..Forward..Silence. Great write More please. - Phil A.
