parallel

broken open
humbled

in a hole
not at the bottom, but falling

i don't grab for anything
because there's nothing to grab

i'm trying
i'm trying
but trying is never good enough
and i don't know how to stop trying

inherent flaw
i don't know where from
it always has been
gnawing flaw

flaw leading to humility
only shameful humility

do i not know how to love?
or am i just a poor lover?
or do i just make mistakes

wall between us

if you forgive
i cannot accept
because trying isn't good enough

if you don't
i wither and toss and turn

stormy waves inside me
and i'm seasick

wow, this is astounding. I am absolutely amazed with the way you kept the stanzas so short and used so few words yet portrayed the same emotion and passion as in a novel. Very well done :)
