Excerpt from “Forever Almost”
A Poem by Curly GraceWe were diamonds once
brief
brilliant
our bodies catching the sun
every pulse a shimmer

as if the world could hold us

Damian this song showed a lot of what I was feeling in my teens. It came out in 81′ but I heard it around 87′ when I thought I was truly in love. Haha nope hormones talking.

Way back when…I should leave
I am the embodiment of the word toxic
I know my faults

The push pull in this is intense. Sometimes there’s a vast ocean between should and do. And as we know, I never learned to make bubbles, so swimming isn’t much of an option. Brilliantly written

This was done beautifully. I like the meter of it and the breaking at the end give the reader a chance to feel between the drops.
