Hurt me halfway

There is only one direction

burn it loose

as I walk through your door

look at all the dew

so many memories of you

You wanted to hate him

 to make it hurt less

stroke,

 Massive Coronary

did he 

make you feel 

like you wanted to crawl 

up your sleeve?

Caviar

swollen flushed

twenty years ago

let's start over

painful sky

grieving sun

hurt me halfway

when arms close about

me once more

they should feel like the inside 

of yours

on a good day

haunting dark and brooding. As a reader it has me wanting to know more about this mysterious piece. Broken love has a way of doing just that.

Thank you, Carlos Lorenzo Estrada, what a fantastic name :D

A powerful write dear Corset. You gave glimpses of places and thoughts. I could feel the struggle to seek peace and understanding. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

Thank you Coyote for reading and the politically correct gratuitous "happy holidays" to you! Ah to heck with it, Merry Christmas!!!

I particularly like the last stanza and the last three lines.
Hurt me Halfway...I like that idea...years ago you hurt me halfway....now this can finish the job, but it's okay because I want to feel you close once more.
I have wanted to crawl up my sleeve many times...flannel protection from the hurt...
I drift into some abandoned mine shaft with your poems, waiting for some kind of explosion...
and you manage it...especially with your endings....your momentum always builds.
Shame there aren't more reviews of this piece....WC is going to be left for dead soon, I am afraid.
