I wish you could take an eraser to the heart,

And just erase.



Erase the hurt and lost loves,

The hoping that came to nothing,

The wishing that never came true,

The loneliness that was never resolved.



Erase the feelings that were wrong,

And the ones that were right,

But didn’t work out.



You would probably have a mess.



A weird and wonderful mixture of

Eraser shavings and

Multi-faceted feelings.



We’d all feel free

And when we got sad or hurt or lonely,

We could just
Erase.

Superb writing once again. Well-written, crystal clarity, a clever concept. Brilliant, again, Vidra. I would love your comment on any and all of my work. (Just kidding about the all... :D ). You are a great writer. Keep writing!
