The bitter Journey (collab with Damien Davison)

The bitter Journey (collab with Damien Davison)

A Poem by †Tracey†


Loving you from arms length for so long

becomes a bitter journey I no longer want

to take...belief that it will change

belief that you will someday see me standing here

loving you is seared away daily


Layers of skin are peeled away with every

bead of acid that drips from your tongue

vomits from your mouth...all while your

eyes plead with me promising to “fix” it

just one more time


Our fixing days...are over don't you think?


~*~


Don't you think these words burn my tongue?

How can you say, it's the end of days

Of fixing every frame that we have hung...

From still images 

I see fire in your eyes

Flickering faster 

Then I could lie...


I see every detail now, down to the finest grain...

I know, I know that I went against,

Pushing you away.

Peeling off the layers of your skin so ever soft

I'll find away to heal the scars

For I'll forever love...

I do not know who wrote what parts, but the fist "stanza" hit home for me... Yes, it is a fix that fixes nothing but our desperation and desire to be whole. I t is a finger in the dike... (pun may be inserted here if your wish, ha). Eventually, the flood waters win...
I guess we should resolve to enjoy the swim. :)
Great job to both of you.

An ex-lovers' dialogue. What an excellent idea for a collab. Nice work. I especially liked the use of /acid/tongue/burns/flickers....
