Parenthetical Poem by Josilinia Plyman

Parenthetical

Rating: 5.0


We are parenthetical
The outside matters not
We are isolated
From the building doubt

We are just one still frame
In a moving picture
Their story’s dragging on
But our moment never changes

We are on a train
You look out a window
The world is passing by
Inside air is recycled.

Make your escape from me
Am I your prison cell?
Leave me guarding these bars
Your own personal hell

And I am not trying
To hurt you or trap time
I am just so afraid
Tomorrow you wont be mine

I'm actually quite jealous that I didn't come up with those words; -)

I like the last verse. Describes succinctly and accurately a very real fear, and probably the biggest fear in any relationship: losing the one you're emotionally invested in.
