The Morning After
Things were easy, I was free,
it was like an asphalt ski;
a trip through the lines
that told me you love me.
He broke me inside and smashed apart
every bitter piece of my heart;
left open and unending,
a ruined wretch defending.
I asked you for a picture
a group, you squeezed in,
I kissed your cheek,
and our laughter
was holier than
any church.
No choices, a blame game
who sits on a lame throne.
The one who wins will
never want, an effigy
suture to surify the bone.
But we went to a show!
Rope and pole, blow
smoke quickly, a kiss,
no jealousy, savoring this.
Our smiles matching,
catching this fever together.
I know I need to leave.
To keep ahead and grieve.
But he's not of this world,
you are too curled
and cruel to cleave
the spaces farther in two.
You told me you have to leave,
and the thought made me heave.
Torn to write or call,
I ended up doing them all,
stay with me.
I plead, I beg,
your eyes so soft and sad.
I woke up bloody mad,
about who and what I almost had.
If only life wasn't so bad
and I could be armour clad
it was like an asphalt ski;
a trip through the lines
that told me you love me.
He broke me inside and smashed apart
every bitter piece of my heart;
left open and unending,
a ruined wretch defending.

and our laughter
was holier than

That's some kinda poetry, lady.!!
You are mastery made, in conveying the pain that life/people can sometimes inflict
Perhaps the armor we forge is only so strong and serves to protect for only so long. I think we're meant to (and it's healthy) periodically lower it and to let in those we feel we've become connected to, taking that chance is how we learn and grow.... and it's beautiful despite the possibility of the pain that may very well accompany...
Anyway, that's where my mind went.... love the formatting and your pen's expression. The clever rhymes are wonderfully impactful.... and excellently emphasize your poetic style.
Great ink, Cait.

Wow, what an amazing comment and dissection! Thank you very much for the kindness, and for taking the time to read my heart.
This actually was a very vivid and heart wrenching dream, I only did my best to try to convey it on the page. 💔💫

Wow, this poem hit me right in my fragile heart and I loved every emotional piece of it! It reminds of a piece I actually just posted about my heart break.

Like the way the verses are interspersed in different print, with the memories of the night before in italics and how it left you feeling in bold, with that plain-faced concluding verse. Brings it to a vivid life.
