Trapped in the Rinse Cycle

By Nehema

My heart is thumping
Like someones in there
Lifeblood its pumping
Trying to punch their way out.

Ignoring the voices
The many passionate offers
Making safe choices
Keeps me sane in the abyss

Your invitation received
Sweet and sincerely given
I accepted and believed
Our union would be different

Always nieve and a fool
I fall for the biggest liars
The ones that play it cool
Without needs for me to fill

Congratulations to you
Your ego filled with pride
For breaking right through
To undue my progress

Back to the chalk boardÂ
To start again fresh
Til I find a new lord
To toss me back in my abyssÂ

Will I ever have the courage to stop this cycle of madness?

I feel sorry for women today after seeing some of the hijinks of my daughters' boyfriends. Pudwhackers and thumb suckers, running back to Mommy - sheesh! Yet I know just like the Marine Corps, there are still a few out there, somewhere. Good luck in the adventure that awaits and cheers!

Fucking beautifully and elegantly written.. I feel your pain through your softly expressed verse.. Almost submissive with a yearning. I love it. And yes you are one of the strongest women i've met. You give me strength. Much love baby..

Yes you will have the courage. Sad is the humility in this poem. No one can undo your progress... That is your power- not theirs. Claim it!
