    Spilt milk😒

    I knocked over a glass of water
    and it didn't make me cry
    I didn't feel the urge
    to let tears drop from my eyes
    It didn't leave a stain
    when i wiped it from my chest
    It was a slight irratation
    and it took me from my rest
    nothing more and nothing less
    No deep dark stains
    to cover over with lies
    no further reason for gasping
    no guilt released with sighs
    I got a towel and cleaned my spill
    I still felt good, no reason to feel ill
    But when milk flows
    from a gilted cup
    I fight to find
    which end is up
    When something so pure and sweet
    get knocked aside
    I want to embrace
    what was not tried
    hold onto what i abide
    I want to savor the pleasures I've lost
    turment my mind
    no matter the cost
    my tears stain the shirt i have on
    I've spilt my milk and now its all gone
    over look me if i cry and get mad
    my spilt milk had no chance to go bad.

    the milk metaphor is great, it didn't have a chance to go bad. everything fades away but you didn't even get to watch it bloom before it died. regrets of things slipped by...

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
