The way I am
I’m not sorry for using my heart as a trap.
Once you’ve been caught it’ll never set you free.
It’s exciting to hear you beg and cry for attention.
But won’t let you go until I’m bored with you.
I’m not sorry for you getting lost within my magic triangle.
The murky Venus trap devours you greedily.
How you struggle to escape that vortex of desire.
Will swallow you whole and spit out the bits and pieces.
I’m not sorry for turning words into knives.
The blades are going to mutilate each word of yours.
My fun is watching you squirm under my lingual whip.
No remorse to butcher you with what’s escaping my lips.
I’m not sorry for being the way I am.
I’m not sorry for warming up my cold heart with purgatorial fire.
I’m not sorry for banishing you from Paradise.
I’m not sorry for breaking your wings.
'Cause you broke mine.

You're so nice, Poe, to comment on my poem in such a kind way! Deeply honored I am! And NO! NO haiku this time. Strange, isn't it? But I will achieve to reduce it to 17 Syllables, count on that, hehe!

Ms. Chi, you've said everything that every woman has felt at one time or another but couldn't/wouldn't have the courage to say it out loud. We're so conditioned to say 'sorry' for everything, that we become a doormat. There's strength and courage in this poem and i respect that so much.

My goodness, you write many poems in haiku, Chi.... that I forgot how deeply beautifully your pen bleeds, staining the canvas with strength and sass. :) Love it! .xo

Thanks for your lovely words, Rain. They make me feel special although I'm clearly not :-). Hugs and kisses to you!

What a pleasant surprise! I was expecting one of your amazing
haikus, so this was a real treat. The verbiage is excellent
and the intent smoldering in its targeted effect and unapologetic nature.

Dear Ahavati, I'm so happy to discover your kind comment on this poem which is a real (l o n g) one for once :-). Sometimes I have something to say that exeeds the obligatorial 17 syllables. But yes, mostly I'm rather tacitum as we all know by my plain haikus :-). Thank you so much!

You almost want to be crushed? That must be an idiom I don't know of :-). But thank you very much for this nice comment, anyway!
