Broken- A revised write
No tears caress my face
frozen crystals they remain
holding on to my grief
wrapping my tarnished wings
tightly around this broken heart
for a friendship lost
whiskey no longer the shade
where I usually find relief
my steel wall penetrated, gone
I wish to take flight
into the night air
far from this place
though my wings
are heavy with pain
no you won't see
any tears stain this face
I hold myself tightly
while inside I weep
for the water under the bridge
the current has changed
taking me to the shores of loneliness
hating how soft I've become
I want to put on the hard
though that part of me is in hiding
so I hold on tight
letting the feelings
wash over me
frozen crystals they remain
holding on to my grief
wrapping my tarnished wings
tightly around this broken heart
for a friendship lost
whiskey no longer the shade
where I usually find relief
my steel wall penetrated, gone
I wish to take flight
into the night air
far from this place
though my wings
are heavy with pain
no you won't see
any tears stain this face
I hold myself tightly
while inside I weep
for the water under the bridge
the current has changed
taking me to the shores of loneliness
hating how soft I've become
I want to put on the hard
though that part of me is in hiding
so I hold on tight
letting the feelings
wash over me

Hello, Brenda Heart........vulnerability is a tenderness that unassurredly smiles its needs....tolerance and insecurity....the wisdom of intimacy...reach out...

Your tender heart, broken
leaves the tears in my throat chokin'
Deeply mournful my friend
leaves the tears in my throat chokin'
Deeply mournful my friend

Not sure which one I like better, this one or the previous version. A very beautiful expression of pain in these words especially :
" though my wings
are heavy with pain
no you won't see
any tears stain this face
I hold myself tightly
while inside I weep"
Quite profound, DUP should be honored to have a brilliant mind such as yourself.
Regards,
Sir

Beautiful expression of pain and suffering. Perhaps even better than the first version. Well done

Well, I tend to give respect where it is due. ;)
And the second comment was sort of a fluke.lol
I thought somehow it messed up when I posted. Chalk it up to various chemical imbalances,I suppose. Anyways, you never fail to amaze me with your work.
Much respect,
Sir

Dear crim,
I'm really amazed by this write..really dark and damp. like your emotional output.. I also love the way u have presented it ,the three lines stanza looks good .. I kinda find it difficult to write in stanzas tho..
the first two stanzas had some really thought provoking imagery.. and the next stanza to adds up to ur helplessness .. alcohols dnt work no more ..its sad, but writing does I'm sure.. lol
keep Rollin
cyanide..

Oh My! Crim-iny my tender friend this is such a poignant painful mourning. I'm one who invests deeply in friendships, no holds barred, hope, trust, love and fathomless support. So when/if it ends I'm sickened, lost, crushed for too long.
I also try to dress in the armor of nonchalance and indignation but the hurt affirms the truth at some point. :(
I'm sorry I haven't read the previous version, I will :)

Wrapping yourself deep inside, but still you carry it with you. It does lessen over time, until one day you find you can let it go.

I'm sure I've said it before Ms Crim. Your strength in susceptibility astounds me. Soft and strong make great quality neighbours. I believe this. Thank you Miss C.
