Love To Me

The ending of a very dangerous relationship more than 3 years ago

 

The metal barbs tear into my heart

Latching on like the claws of a demon

And the more I drift from you and the place I left behind

The more they split apart the flesh within

Anguish

 

Your blood which became mine rests in my veins

But as of late it seeps through my skin and evaporates

You are no longer Mine

 

Trying to extract yourself from my soul

Which you planted there with tainted fingers

Your feeling still lingers on

Doomed

 

Easy to fall back into the hands of temptation

You are the fruit in which I should have never taken

You poisoned my well being

Yet you furthered my seeing

Truth

 

The silence is breaking through

No longer seeing the world through you

The past cannot be retaken like a photograph

Reason

 

So your soul finally eludes my being

watch the dust rise as I make my way down the path

Your cold clench on my heart releases

And I am finally set free

My cold clench on your heart releases

… and it hurts to set you free.

 

Reviews

It is written in stages like those of a recovering addict in a 12 step program. Very clever intrepretation of recovery from heart break and love. Very strong and relateable.

[Wildecat]

This is a well crafted poem, very inspring, a total pleasure to read your poetry.

I was actually inspired by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins (he is by far one of my favorite poets as well as musician), and his song called "Mayonaise." His style and dark edge made me realize that it was okay to go places like that and express it in words.

[Let Me Write]

That was amazing! Truly inspiring.

Wow. I truly never realized how dark this is.
