I Saved Me

Lovely, Darling.

Sweet scarlet bliss.

Save me.

I don’t want to do this.

But you must, child.

The pain will help, you’ll see.

They suspect something’s wrong.

They know about me.

Now, child. I won’t let that happen.

Hurry, or the feeling will fade.

I’m too weak.

I’m scared of the blade.

Listen, you foolish girl.

I’m helping you see what’s real.

But you’re not helping me,

If more pain is all I feel.

That’s nonsense, girl.

What you’re feeling is love. A kiss.

That can’t be true.

Love isn’t supposed to hurt like this.

You have many things too learn.

You’re still too young to know.

I think I know enough.

I’d like for you to go.

Stupid, girl. You need me.

Without me you’ll fall apart.

I can save myself.

Now please, just leave my heart.

Silly, child. You are not wise.

I’m inside your head.

Leave. I don’t need your sting.

If you stay I’ll end up dead.

I can leave, but not forever.

What if I come back? Who will save you then.

I’m stronger than you. I know I am.

I can beat your sin.

Well, as you wish, I’ll disappear,

But I’ll leave you my precious knife.

I don’t need it and I don’t need you.

I only need my life.

Very thought provoking, and intense. The Inner struggle we all face on a daily basis. What is good, what is right, what to do in the still of the night? When the voices come inticing you at our weakest moment, tis then we know resistance is often futile. When we win over temptation we celebrate the victory, but when we are weak and give into it, for awhile it's gratifieing, but soon after guilt then follows, and the voice we hear in the distance, saying Ahh yes, for a moment you belonged to me, how sweet, how gratifieing.

Robin you pulled that off without missing a beat. This one for the ages, I know the subject you are speaking off and it's not a pretty one. Maybe this write will reach out to others in need of help. I sure hope. Much Love to you xoxoxo

I love the conversation between the two different voices inside of someone's head.
Great write! I also love the conclusion, "I don't need it and I don't need you. I only need my life."
