Table Talk
I decided to sit her down at the table to have a talk:
"I know I invited you, but you're no longer welcome here, so leave my house!" I screamed
She lifted her head, her eyes met mine
She wore the biggest grin
Her beauty haunted me even more
"My darling," she spoke in a whisper
"I never leave, you see. You think you don't want me
But deep down, I'm like your sibling... Your closest friend.
I'll help you through every trial and trouble
I'll never leave your side."
I began to cry, because deep down she was right
And I knew at that moment
My house was a prison
I was a prisoner to her
She held the keys to my cell
And as I began to wipe my teary eyes
She began to laugh
"It's good to be home."

This relationship is inside my head, I'm currently in the process of taming it. Thank you Jadedembers for the response!

Traveling.. heartbreaking, but brilliant.. i know the feeling.. as a poet, or poetess one thing kinda sucks.. our pain makes the best writes.. kinda of a double edged sword.. much respect to you.. and hoping it gets better..

Dave, i agree completely. If it weren't for our trials and pain there wouldn't be such brilliant poems. I find solace in the words, a sort of release from the hurt... a double edged sword I'll gladly use! Thank you for bringing light to the idea, there is beauty in the pain.

Fairy, There is mystery in these words. I am intrigued by the persona of this menace...an alter ego perhaps? The title is wonderful as well. Well done. Brava!

She is a person who lives in my mind, probably in other's as well. This voice we can't seem to get rid of, abusing us daily, influencing us to do harm. Thank you for the comment!
