PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I sang

days away

or so I thought

from your love

and without even knowing it

we became two pleasured purposes

heading in the opposite direction

you scoffed at my worry

paths intertwined you claimed

in such veils of distorted joy

escalation is the mule

that turned over the apple cart of

our desire

and the lane that lead to your wanting

me once

suddenly became

in passable

blocked with guilt

likely left over from your fonder days

of catting around

so, I in my hurt pride

mentally castrated you

and left you to bleed

unmercifully behind me

as no more than a shard of the

handsome that you once thought you were

as I pseudo-laughingly walked away

never fully knowing

until today

that the keys to your pathetic little life

remained

crushed in my hand

every day since then............
