Stitches

Stitches

A Chapter by Nix is typing...

Image result for hands ripping heart drawing

My brain keeps flipping switches

I keep pulling at the stitches

Causing it to fester

While you treat me like some jester

You said that you would love me

Forever

But you never really did

So I sewed it all away

Until one day

I started pulling at the stitches

I could only try to buy

Your alibi

For so long

Before the old wound itches

Why the hell do I want you back?

Your heart was cold

Your soul was black

You hurt me, 

Slashed open my heart

So I pushed all the pain within

To let it fester within the dark

While I pasted on a fake grin

You did it just to watch me bleed

And guaranteed my misery

All the while

There was no mystery

Our history is all too clear

I saw her standing near

And saw what you were doing

Watched your pleasure brewing

I couldn't miss the kiss

Now I can't help but scratch

And pull at these old stitches

You said that you loved me

But you never really did

Now you know he was a craphead. And all crapheads should be ignored and put out to pasture where they belong. Put it in your local newspaper: Craphead at large. Watch out for him ladies. He'll eat you up and spit you out. Even your dog won't approve of his actions.

All kidding aside, nice collab.

A relationship falling apart at the seams. Those split stitches hurt like hell. Some are beyond repair. Not worth attempting. I enjoyed this collab Nix.

Ooh I like this one, it really is like someone is pulling you apart at the seams when they break your heart. Great imagery and good collaboration piece.

You're so sweet!! Thanks so much for your review, Ink!!!! 😊
There is a song by Leonard Cohen call "Fingerprints." When I read these words dear poet. I remember the old song.
"Now I can't help but scratch
And pull at these old stitches
You said that you loved me
But you never really did"
This could be a cool song. Removing the old stitches may leave scars, may bleed. Must be done sometime. I liked the complete poem and thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Sometimes we just don't know when to leave well enough alone. We beat our hearts against the wall trying to mend a relationship when it just won't stay mended.
nice blend of voices in this one...sounds like one pen, not two...and in a collaboration, that is what
we strive to do.
