Mindsweeper

By Meshell

Weakness is your playground
where my feelings are found
beaten down
eyes lowered from your crown

Is this the way you want me?

Croutched down in the dirt
filled with immense hurt
you feed on the mere existence of insecurities
hearts in hand pulsing as you squeeze screaming obscenities

heart pierced through ears
wounds salted from years
A self imposed tomb
self worth consumed

eyes once filled with loving emotion
stare back
half cracked
full of tension

My mind has become the worst of enemies
creating excuses for your vulgarity
replaced with past heart felt memories
so i bled inwardly

Is
    solitude
                  found
                            on
                                 the
                                        end
                                               of
                                                    a
                                                         tether?

The style of writing Ian's the subtle rhyme scheme is odd, but not bad. I like the way it flowed with a studder, almost like someone in the situation trying to quietly speak it out. This is a good piece.
