Pretty Flowers in a Broken Vase
I don't know what happened
It's none of my business
Got my own history
Some of it romantic
A lot of it rough
When she broke my heart
I made every woman pay
5 years of jaded sex
Pushing their limits
Some loved it
Some loved it too much
Obsession
It's a freak show
Binding flesh
Bending minds
Twisting truths
Till all that's left is anarchy
Where did the love go
5 years I lasted
Wrong side of sexuality
Every chase
Monumental thrills
Yet left on the road side
Broken and unbound
It was then I knew my sickness
That was my first day of healing
Never looked back
Took my time
Became myself again
A good guy she said
Then I fell in love
It's none of my business
Got my own history
Some of it romantic
A lot of it rough
When she broke my heart
I made every woman pay
5 years of jaded sex
Pushing their limits
Some loved it
Some loved it too much
Obsession
It's a freak show
Binding flesh
Bending minds
Twisting truths
Till all that's left is anarchy
Where did the love go
5 years I lasted
Wrong side of sexuality
Every chase
Monumental thrills
Yet left on the road side
Broken and unbound
It was then I knew my sickness
That was my first day of healing
Never looked back
Took my time
Became myself again
A good guy she said
Then I fell in love

I'm always in a state of flux so it feels okay for me to write this now. I'm no angel and I still struggle with many addictions but I know when I'm falling and catch myself sooner before crashing into a wall.

This is absolutely marvelous. First I adore the title, beyond that, it’s so honest, raw, real... just a great story of how pain changes us but we have the power to fight back! So inspiring! Love it so much. Makes me think of the saying, hurt people, hurt people... and the cycle continues until somebody decides they’ve had enough and change...congrats to you for your bravery and courage

I had some inspiration that opened my eyes recently.
Sometimes you have to listen to other people tell their story and suddenly you see yourself in a strangers sight. Never to old to learn and see.
Thank you for your kind words.
Your comments gave me chills
I'm blown away

Sometimes you find it when you least expect it.
As my sales manager always says "Keep punching"
All you can do. Never lay down

I see a lot of introspection coming from you these days. It’s gritty and honest. It looks good on you.

LOVE THIS! We cannot heal until we treat the cause vs symptom of the disease.
One of your best, Poet!

I liked this a lot. The image of a broken vase holding flowers is not only metaphorical but spiritual. It takes time to heal and find ourselves.
Thank you for sharing.

Poppa - this is very unusual for you - aside from when referencing your mom, your Mrs. and Ginger, you don’t show your vulnerable side all that often. This is a fabulous write which shows a great deal of reflection and introspect!!
Outward bravery like!
