Emotional by New Members Poems

give me your blame
give me pain and I'll thank you
this burden I shoulder
tastes like fine wine,
aged by years of resentment
and I wonder how long
you've held this iron
you dig into my ribs
I wonder how long you've kept quiet
about every little thing I do
that pisses you off
this pain tastes like hand soap,
tastes like I'll need to
brush my tongue until it bleeds
just to feel worthy of love again
you are a cloud
hanging over my head
I'm so sad
so sad
so sad
and you're
so sick...

I believed in every word that you said.

Every syllable,

Every letter went straight to my head.

To my soul.

To my heart.

It was laced with lies.

Hidden behind sweet kisses,

Long goodbyes.

It left no visible trace.

Like strychnine on lace.

When eyes met.

(not mine)

When hands touched.

(not mine)

When lips collided.

(NOT MINE)

What could I do?

What could I say?

Could not move.

Didn’t want...
