It's Nothing Love
You come into the room
bringing the heat
and like a little girl
my heart pounds in my chest
painfully aware of your presence
my body aches for a taste of you
feeling sad when you leave
and a bit foolish
for letting you toy with me this way
I want to toss my feelings
into the East River
watch them float away
with the rest of the dead
but like the dead they rise
to the surface
telling on me
my face a give away
murder in the first
killing my emotions
with liquor
an easy out
then comes morning and i'm sober
flooding thoughts of you
strangle and choke
my darkened heart
missing you
standing naked before you
with no guile or guise
no guard or alter ego to protect
evening will descend
when I can drink enough
to pretend for the moment
that I don't care

This is Lovely....
You are so gifted Crim...
You should be heard on stages around the world
sitting on a tall black stool with a microphone...
and one light shining above you...
as you bare your tales through spoken word.. to the world..!
Much Love

this somehow reminds me of The Escapist by Nightwish. Really loved reading this Brenda, one I can relate to so well.

Love it Crim! sadly a very relatable scribe for many on the fable and folly of Love, how we want it to be and how we deal with the sometimes not so fabulous reality :/ Peace my friend

I really love this, and especially these lines:
'feeling sad when you leave
and a bit foolish
for letting you toy with me this way
I want to toss my feelings
into the East River
watch them float away'
just awesome, you have such talent.

I am really feeling this poem...kind of describes a similar situation that I was once in. Horrid but delicious at the same time.
Beautiful words :-)
