You run like water
down the path of least resistance
to my lowest point
honing in
on the nadir of my insecurities
and doubts
Given enough time
even a trickle
wears down granite
A trifle
becomes malignant
insistent and insidious
turning solid mass
tenuous
I believe it is time
to dam you
to damn you.

nice prompt, great articulated thought. Welcome back mi amiga.
Excellent. I 'ran' right down the path of this poem with you & loved that strong 'damning' ending!
I'm glad to see you back, luv.
But it doesn't sound like you came back in a good mood. (pout)
Whew on those last two lines ~
Hope all is well with you ~
Those last 3 lines!!!! So superb!!! I mean, I like it all, but those last 3 lines!!!!!!!
