Ten Plus One

My muse is gone to the winds again...and I get f*****g burned.

A decade...no
A decade plus
one.

One year I mean.

 

I waited. And waited.

 

Funny how the fates
like to f**k with me
Give and take
Take and take

I found you again
A decade plus one

 

Im not jealous
Im not jealous

 

Who the hell am I kidding?
Of course Im jealous
There was no investment
of real feelings
but I get the sense
that you're going
away from me
again.

 

I should thank you
I should.
I wont
I wont let you see this
I wont let you sense this
Youll notice though
It will be gradual.
Or maybe just abrupt.
Abrupt.

 

Im going out of
your life
Like when you came
into mine
Abruptly, without
warning.

 

This is goodbye then.

Yeah, venting is good. But, venting, like a periodic volcanic eruption, only relieves the pressure temporarily; it starts building again immediately...then, bazooomboes! here we go again...hey, baby, what a ride that was...a whole life can be up on that explosion-go-round. But, if you take care of the pain (like a big girl) it can actually heal...and you can get on to other things... Oh, it takes more than a rant and a goodbye...that's just my humble opinion, but, don't get me wrong, I like your poetry....Ed

Life is all about give and take; sometimes it's about how much we can give; pouring out our hearts till it seems there's nothing left. Other times, it seems like it's an endurance test of just how much we can take. Great write.

Dang girl you are back with a vengeance, first off great to see you writing again... and wow this is purely uninhibited release of emotions... this is like a poetic volcano. Great work.
