Wanton Sickness

By nuclearentrails

I cry for you like a colicky baby
Out of some wanton sickness
Because I am a woman that has barely
Learned to care for herself after
These many hard earned years, too long now
and I long for your touch after but an hour
I love you and desperately and am
Inescapably needy, ready to open and
Compassionately care
I cry for you
My organs seeping eggs and semen
and weeping, I am a feminine mess.

    Raw emotion and truth just kind of grabs you and sucks you in. I can appreciate that you were able to form into words what might seem like a internal cartoon cat fight. Nicely done.

    Makes you feel like you've got an itch while you're reading. Desperate, and compulsive. Dig it. Last lines are incredibly powerful. Write the hell on.
