Poetry: A shoulder to cry on

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

.

Is it worth a try?

No shoulder to cry on here,

Better hold my peace.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Better hold my peace.

No shoulder to cry on here.

Is it worth a try?

.

Cross the bridge of trust.

We have shared our secret dreams,

Covenanted hearts.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Covenanted hearts.

We have shared our secret dreams,

Cross the bridge of trust.

.

I thought we were friends.

Every confidence locked safe.

I have been betrayed.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

I have been betrayed.

Every confidence locked safe.

I thought we were friends.

.

Never burned again.

Each entreaty I'll ignore.

Look the other way.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

Look the other way.

Each entreaty I'll ignore.

Never burned again.

Author's Note: This poem is written in a tightly constructed structure of strict syllabic stanzas, including a repetition woven within each one. Sometimes creativity may be found within a specific format, as many experimental poets may discover.
