I found out that my buddy @gmuxx was sponsoring a poetry competition that's being hosted by @thewritersblock. Needless to say, poetry is kind of my thing and everyone loves Muxxy, so here's my entry below. Please check out the competition post and if you didn't know, Muxxy is a witness now, so he could use some witness votes too! The theme is discord, here goes:
We take turns speaking, but neither listens;
The frustration builds and our sweat glistens.
Grabbing your shoulders while you slap my face,
there's nothing between us but empty space.
We are consumed with this need to be right;
Fighting the darkness while losing our light.
Perhaps there's some way I could make you see;
If only I knew you were as blind as me.
Lost ourselves while focused on each other;
Fierce flames are the easiest to smother.
So we each step back of our own accord,
before being consumed by this discord.
