The Devil's In The Ink
I got drunk
made a mistake
wrote to you
should have
known better
indifference
the worst kind
of wound
i'll admit it
I've earned this
though the poison
doesn't go down
any easier
it burns a path
to my heart
fortunate it was
a quick kill
not a lingering death
of passion unfulfilled
i'll not be writing
of love that
does not exist
anymore
I was foolish
also mean
speaking from
a hurt space
your writing cuts
so I cut back
regretting what I wrote
the devil's in the ink
once spilt it can't
be taken back
made a mistake
wrote to you
should have
known better
indifference
the worst kind
of wound
i'll admit it
I've earned this
though the poison
doesn't go down
any easier
it burns a path
to my heart
fortunate it was
a quick kill
not a lingering death
of passion unfulfilled
i'll not be writing
of love that
does not exist
anymore
I was foolish
also mean
speaking from
a hurt space
your writing cuts
so I cut back
regretting what I wrote
the devil's in the ink
once spilt it can't
be taken back

nice piece crim...
loved the regret , I remember regretting writing a letter to a girl a knew once .. this looks like that to me...although it doesn't looks like a letter, it speaks a lot which is what good poetry does...
there are certain places where some punctuation is needed i guess but it can always be ignored with such a great write..
keep up the good work n keep Rollin

Brenda Love..oww!! What an apt analogy for the ink we spill foolishly in the depths of our pain when striking back seems righteous. then turns to regret we can't recapture before it bitters the impact of the note we hoped only to share toward understanding. Deeply felt, duly noted, I'm guilty of this mistake and know well the regret. :(

Yep!!! I felt this way down deep as I read. I spilled my devil ink and now paying for it. So easy to write a mistake but taking it back isn't as easy. This brings a tear. :(
