Angel or Tramp
I was supposed to be your angel
And I only had to give my wings to you
Come to sleep with me that's what you said
I will show you heaven and how to fly without wings
You like it when you can play with me
And I am allowed to have unbridled lust in you
While you continue to sell me heaven
But are you lying to me about your intentions
I don't want to be just a tramp for you
You can't just take my body and nothing else
You told me the more I wanted you
I should think of you as a mere mistake
And still you torment me with offers of heaven
And I only had to give my wings to you
Come to sleep with me that's what you said
I will show you heaven and how to fly without wings
You like it when you can play with me
And I am allowed to have unbridled lust in you
While you continue to sell me heaven
But are you lying to me about your intentions
I don't want to be just a tramp for you
You can't just take my body and nothing else
You told me the more I wanted you
I should think of you as a mere mistake
And still you torment me with offers of heaven

Just more back and forth in my mind is all. I guess I am feeling vulnerable again, damn insecurities.

just getting some inner doubt out through writing. As much as we want them to be no relationship is perfect and this is just one way to get things off my mind.

This is such a treatise of innocence, KristinaX, I had to tell you how much I enjoyed reading it.
Some element of naivety, perhaps, but the persona is hearing an inner voice and learning to become more guarded. Your free-verse writing style seems to mirror the state of uncertainty of the persons, who is grappling for a measure of fleeting assurance.
Well done!

Thanks cab, such a brilliantly worded interpretation. I think you really understood what I was trying to express rather than just the surface!

Dear K,
Insecurities are the worst. They make us question every move and amplify self doubt. Argh! Your poem is brutally honest with the word play in your mind. Redirect the direction. Your write is an excellent peek into the mindset when an outside influence is playing with an honest heart! Great write. H🌷

Such a beautiful comment, I am not sure what to say to that. :) Thank you. I am sure we will work through our stuff, there are always two sides to everything. Originally I had planned to write about positive things but it seems easier and more therapeutic to write about challenges. It's the way of things. :)

Are you speaking from experience? (it sounds like you are speaking from experience.) (--and I think maybe you have that backwards) and thanks for that comment, why is that so funny to me?
But the judgmental look on the dog's face scares me. like he's sizing me up; like he is measuring me for black wings or something.

How did you know? Tramps can become angels... it’s written on the ground. Sometimes we can’t see the tramps wings, we blinded by the rock of righteousness we hold. Don’t let the dog scare you. It can’t really judge, forgiveness is his Kryptonite. Angels with white wings and Angels with black wings... their message is the same they are both pure. The only difference is the angels with black or dark wings practice the art of creation.

This was such a beautiful and vulnerable spill. I can wholeheartedly empathize your feelings of self doubt and worth. I struggle with this as well. Perhaps things aren't so black and white? You're certainly not a tramp, but I don't think any of us are angels either. Just my take ;)
If you give someone your all and they mislead you, it can be pretty detrimental to your self image. Just remember, at the end of the day, you have the power to decide your own self worth! That's always been a powerful (re)realization 😊

Very wise words. Yes, things are almost never black and white and I will make no actual claims of being a perfect angel. When you give your all you do open yourself up to feeling more of the positive but also more of the negative. Still working on the deciding my self worth bit. Thank you for the great comment and you made me feel good that you would include me in your reading list. :)

This is beautiful! An honest and vulnerable introspective write, I am enjoying watching you grow as a poet and as a person through your expressions of your feelings. We can all relate to this, well done.

Thanks Julia, I feel a little more confident posting now and I have very much surprised myself looking back at the actual number, it does not seem like so many when I think about it. Thanks for the encouragement.

The trials and tribulations of intimacy. Sometimes you need to keep your eyes open and not fall for the sales pitch. Easier said then done. insightful piece.

Oh yes, sometimes easier said then done. Intimacy has a way derailing logic but what can you do....

Ya keep trying until you find that spark that lights the fire; and hopefully each of you has enough logs to keep it burning.

So many people enter into loveless relationships, or at least one sided ones. If we were taught as kids that in order to love someone we first need to learn to love ourselves, I believe we'd all be much happier. Easier said than done, I know.
No one is born with insecurities, we collect them along the way, yet everything gained can be disposed of. The most timid man on Earth can be made into the greatest soldier.
Never underestimate your power and worth. You are a force of nature.

It's a beautiful message. Thank you. I think nature and nurture both influence our insecurities so some people seem to develop them easier because of how we are wired. But we all have our challenges and insecurities to overcome. :) (and we definitely collect them along the way.. that is so true)

So often someone just wants the body. But a relationship is about so much more. Sex is easy, but the other things make it so much more rewarding. I don't want to just have sex with someone with no connection or feelings. I know I am a very sexual person but rest assured that does not mean I just have meaningless sex with lots of people. So when that's all someone wants then it's time to make a change. Thanks for giving me your thoughts on this one Ted.
