Three and Two

Folder: 
Dolour

Three times you have bitten the life out of me

I have bitten back twice

All the years burn to ashes on the dancing finger tips

All I sought is nothing but working sorrow

 

Three times you have smite me with love

Twice I have accepted the blows

Now we are glaring figures, waiting for the next move

Someday, I will walk away

 

Three scars onto the heart, three scratches on the Blades

I have scarred you twice, twice I have protected myself

You continue to be a staring figure, stuck on the past

I have left you miles behind me somewhere, growing into the future

 

Three times poison was injected into the Spirit

Twice removed, and a final third time as I sink the Blades to the hilt

What once was the heart you claimed to love, the man you wanted

Not the man I wanted to be, I become me for the third and final time

 

Four goodbyes, hurricane of emotions wrecking all the known

In the aftermath of destructive forces, I pull together what was life

Showing the scars, holding close to the Blades and being truthful

To myself, I carry the broken self home away from the poison for the final time

There is a lot here to absorb, the blade is wielded nicely - the slice lines in the heart palpable - what a way to say this. - Just Bein' Lady A 4 U Today

Yes, Rewrite

I liked the original poem, but it was lacking from my point of view.  I knew it could be a lot more if I put some effort and time into the poem.  So I did, and thank you much.  *Smiles*
