Challenge
Ok, although I know most of us can be very critical of ourselves, I think we all have a favorite or favorites of our own work. Maybe we posted one that didn't get very much feedback. That is what this challenge is about! That one that slipped by! There may be more than one, but just pick the best and post it here. If you feel like it got neglected or you're just very proud! Post the best poem you feel you ever wrote on Prose! Don't forget, tag me

The Taker
It was hard to decide which to post, but this one didn't get much love, so I thought I'd give it another go.
-----
A cold, cold night despite the heat
Endless talk in the ghost still night
Brought to life by this Summer mist
So enthused, in a reclusive way
The hours fall like the rain doesn't
Soon birds will sing
Alarm clocks ring
But not mine
For on nights like these
There is no time
Bliss creeps in like it's all been reset
Masking the pain the taker has left
One thing my mind clings endlessly to-
There's a pain in my lungs...
And it must be you
The line of defense feeds on the pain she leaves
But the walls fall as the pain recedes
In time all remembered's the happiness freed
She'll give and take everything you need
