i wonder...

By KittyStryker


i drempt last night
of you

you were upset
because i was telling you
i didn't want to see you
not yet
not now

the wound was still fresh
i said
i was still bleeding
from the way
you stabbed me in the back
and through my heart

hard to recover from that

and even though
yo protested
that you loved me
i shook my head

it was my turn
to leave you
crying
feeling inadequate
and wondering
why




am i
falling
out of love
as we fall
out of touch?

maybe i'm just
ready now
to see
the pain
isn't worth
the pleasure

you shattered
my rose tinted
shades
ground them into the cement
when you walked away from me




deep down
yes
i know i would still
jump
into the path of a bullet
to keep you safe

i just don't love you
enough
to let you hurt me
anymore

    ..great write..the last stanza for me was the strongest. To actually proclaim..I've had enough. Well done.

  • A former member wrote: ah i know the feeling. but you capture it so well. the last two stanzas make me sad, realizing I would do the same for someone. wonderful write ~serpentine~

  • A former member wrote: you love him, you're just not "in love" with him. i know how this goes. saddening, to say the least
