Too many words
And not enough action
Less is more
Fight the attraction

Begin at the end
So we will feel
Less than a fraction
Of when our hearts,

Break
And
Heal.

I haven't written any poetry in over a year. I wrote this when i was drunk. Go figure.

Lots of contradictions here, the first stanza seems to suggest that whoever this concerns is talking to much and not doing enough, but also commands them to fight the attraction, which would suggest that doing anything at all is ill-advised. 'End at the beginning' in the 2nd stanza would suggest that whatever it is shouldnt be started at all, yet the final three words 'break/and/heal' indicate that suffering itself can lead to an amelioration of the situation in general, contradicting the previous stanza. All in all, hidden depths! :D You drunken mind is grood.

If you change line 5 to
"Begin at the end"
not only does it flow better, but it actually makes more sense! heh. My reasoning? If you begin at the end, then the end is 'break and heal' then reason to 'fight the attraction' becomes the inevitability that it will end with your heart being broken (which over time will heal). Then, the 'less is more' suggests that the only information to regard is the end (ie 'break and heal';). The first two lines then suggest disposing of the musing and philosophising of whether or not to enter into a 'relationship', and to just get on with the inevitability of it all (ie 'break and heal';). And so the end of the poem, those final three words, give meaning to all the words that precede them (stanzas 1 & 2). Yes/no???
:P
