Mind Play


Your actions portray
what you fear to speak
I’m left to interpret
and show what you ask

I’ll put miles, not days
between us to let you wallow

in solitude

I like the simplicity and directness of this piece. I hope you don't mind some gentle feedback, but I feel like the last sentence 'in solitude' could be dropped, as it feels to me like it breaks the rhythm and emphasises the point that 'let you wallow' makes. Feel free to ignore me, though!

I look forward to reading more of your word.
