PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

to my very core
I am rocking on my heels
so lost
but knowing full well
what it is I need to do
divest myself of this
strangle hold situation
that is no longer working
for either of us
putting band aids on gun shot
wounds is not an option
for me anymore
the smoke is alas clearing
and all the ugliness is beginning
to bear feasible outlets
away from the pain of growing apart
we can lie to ourselves quietly but not to
each other
not for long
my misery weighs a ton
I'm washed out
pushed to my limit
emotionally over drawn
his ever present mockery
despises me
with every sneering
comment and
or sharp stab of jest
I'm just a bad joke to him
I think I always was
one he can not long hide his
laughter over now
why waste the tears and upset
this city is burned
the inhabitants slaughtered
its time to make tracks to the next town
home with Mommy
to gather my shards and glue them
all back together
and let love cleanse all my old cuts
and bruises
I come from love
I am love
and to love, I'll readily return
why feel broken
when but one long chapter
is winding down
and my best chapter ever
is just about to begin
I've made it through
the rainy night
and finding myself
restless for the beautiful dawn.....................
