..........
I lashed out
with my biting tongue
speaking from
a hurt space
of my own.
Targeting the undeserving
there is a masochistic
part of me that knew
I would get as good as I gave
if not better.
In this case I was bested
checkmate game over.
Heart cut and bleeding out
the wounds in me can now heal
torn flesh seared
no more ink shall spill
from these lips
that isn't earned.
It matters to me
that I painted
someone the villain
in this story
when I'm the wicked one
if I seem all over the board
I am.
Riding the manic waves
missing the medical dope
I was receiving
in a place of bliss
for awhile.
Now my existence
is checkered with
feelings unchecked
not knowing what to do with them
I put my head in the gators mouth
crazy I know but that's me.
Really I'm afraid of tenderness
though I long for it
needing to be embraced
afraid of being pushed away
so I play with fire
knowing i'll get burned.
Learning who I am
a daunting task
my writing at times
slaps me in the face
I don't know
if i'll ever be the same.

Scorn surfaces are marks of my love
Pain that bleeds as I dance with fire
Comfort in the truth of wounds that never lie
They heal unlike damage of a broken heart.
I fear not the flight of love, only the devastating fall.
This was a powerful write Crim, bleeds emotions that is gripping, revealing much, as a reader and a writer.
Much respect, to the lady of fire.

Sooo many deeply felt lines here Miss Crim. Your turmoil in questioning your situation is well felt. Once again I trust you will see your worth as we do lovely lady. Strength in vulnerability is a pure strength. I believe you will win from yours. Heartfelt ink Lady Crim. Thank you.

None of us are ever perfect but to recognize our weaknesses is the strength itself.
Powerful write Brenda, every line jars and shakes the foundations of absolute.
