Crimsin Tides

   
I have a fault you see  
always going after    
the emotionally unavailable  
   
it's like I crave rejection  
the masochist in me  
longs for a beating  
   
it's a weakness  
then I lash out  
for getting what I asked for  
   
my vulnerable side emerging  
I wrap my arms around me  
holding the pain in  
   
I cry but my tears  
stay frozen inside  
never to grace my cheeks  
   
a salty kiss  
releasing all I hold tight to  
never to be realized  
   
I stand stoic    
as stone  
though I crumble  
   
just like a little girl  
the slightest breeze  
sends me tumbling over the edge  
   
I prefer Crimsin she is dark  
taking names and kicking ass  
though she leaves me lonely at times  
   
feeling naked without her  
she is my dominant voice  
my protector  
   
when things get too tough  
my voice when I'm afraid to speak  
I love her knowing she is street wise  
   
her forked tongue licking the minds  
of the poets here  
reveling in their poetic hot spots  
   
as I write this she is emerging  
not a split personality    
an alter ego  
   
that doesn't give a fuck  
what anyone thinks  
though she is only half of me  
   
I'm quite soft in my core  
tearing easily if handled too rough  
grateful for all of you  
   
who embrace and love  
all sides of me  
today I'm a hint of Crimsin  
   
tomorrow who knows  
she may kick in the doors  
of your mind and blow you away
