He’s taking me for a ride
with the words from his lips
that split my head
and ache my thoughts
until I’m not sure
if I should be here
or out on the curb
watching him drive on by

TheRainManover 18 years agothat there is an excess of -ing verbs here and crispness is lost. I also question the line "aching my thoughts."
But as usual, your poetry has something to say. And that alone, the consistency with which you write verse that speaks, is a reason to compliment you.

The only thing I would've done differently is killing off the "ings".
He’s taking me for a ride
with the words from his lips
that split my head,
and ache my thoughts ("and" should be here)
until I’m not sure
if I should be here
or out on the curb
as I watch him drive on by. (or "drive by")
