It Started out So Well

I’ve already checked all my symptoms and diagnosed myself.
I sought out cures just for you,
But it just isn’t enough
To appease my diseased mind.
You tell me I’m good enough,
But I see right through your lies when your eyes don’t smile the way your lips do.
Why didn't I finish it?

What were my thoughts one hundred-and-one days ago?

How should it end?

Why didn't I finish what I started?

Dang.

I really like it so far.
I've got a notebook full of half-written poems. Some of them get a second life, but most of them just stay there in my "poem graveyard".
I hope you can resurrect this one. :)

Hm. It does feel as though it should go on.

Perhaps revisit the main thread (metaphor? theme?) of disease and go from there. I'd like to see how this turns out.

Beautiful, beautiful line.
