Right place at the wrong time [inspired by]

It's been so long that I've almost forgotten
The height gap, the lips, the hair (still thick)
The eyes, the touch, the sincerity (still mean it)
for so long, I've tried to capture it
you, me, us, our unexplainable connection
the thing that never fades, breaks us
the thing that never fades, makes us
break everything we have
take everything we want
and mold it into one day
one passionate, over-whelming, intense
shattering, tear-jerking, heart-breaking
perfect day
But perfect can only last so long
now it's estranged connections
unanswered mail and phone calls
I know you're not mad
but I wish we could talk'¦
it's fear of what we make
fear she'll never find out
fear that it'll happen again
and we won't be able to keep it
'cause we were meant for one day
we were meant for passion,
understanding, first-loves, tragicity
we were meant or some world
where every day is our last
we treat each other like icecream
sweet but cold
afraid to swallow whole
savor it to the last melted drop
and for some reason,
we melt together
not made for each other, or puzzle pieces
we melt together
both entranced at intensity
our eyes ringing out loud
for someone to stop this
stop the insanity of loving you
when it can never be worth it
when how I'm with you,
I'm still alone
because you'll never admit it

I thought this piece was very interesting and something one can relate to. Blessings.

I think it's an interesting concept that you have here. It has its own flavor of sarcasm - compress all our emotions in a long period of time and make it all into one day - I'll be honest, I wish I could do that, too! - but also it makes you wonder if such a concept were to be true, could we ever be able to handle it? But I am also led to the fact that the sarcasm was supposed to be spit out back at us when one reads the latter part of the verse.

I got really caught up in the parenthasis (sp?) in the beginning of your poem... I think it would have much more of an impact if you put those small additions on a line of their own. It seems to break things up and make them more powerful. almost like if you were to use the word fall it would be okay, but if you had it

it would show visually how it is.. it would show pauses and emulate more emotion... and thus shine through where you're intending it to. I like the piece overall though.
