On My Knees

Break These Chains Around My Heart

Empty kisses
Leave me dead inside
Tear-filled wishes
In my dreams I hide

I surrender to my madness
This Phoenix is engulfed in flames
Gone is my chance for happiness
Life is forever changed

I am tortured and bound in slavery
Her words pierce my heart like a bayonet
Someone save me from this misery
If I cannot be with her then I must forget

Wow...beautifully penned...
This reads so rhythmically smooth...
Empty kisses
Leave me dead inside
Tear-filled wishes
In my dreams I hide...
I love these lines!

Many can relate to words that pierce the heart. A wonderful write.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Aw! Thank you for finding this piece wonderful! Unfortunately, many can relate to words that pierce a heart--I have been guilty of speaking them too.

barbed the wire hooked and jabbed
purposeful
Slaps to the life speckling into the sky
why why why do the best colts bolt
just to get hung in the wire ?

[FlamingPhoenix]

Nice! Thank you for your visit.

I feel the pain. I know it all to well. You penned this perfectly.

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thank you for the compliment. I'm sorry that you relate so well--of all my experiences with relationships/connections/friendships--this was not only my shortest but my deepest.

[ron]

As was mine. The heart breaks harder and in more finite pieces when it loves the deepest.

Heartbreaking and full of enraged indignity. It's amazing what we do to the people we've supposedly loved, you nailed it FP....

[FlamingPhoenix]

Thank you so much for your kind review. We all have our own battles to fight which can lead to painful mistakes that increase our pain or cause pain for another. Left foot, right foot, left foot, breathe.

Are you a plague rat? Sounds like Emile Autumn's one foot in front of the other....

[FlamingPhoenix]

No--it's something my pastor said recently...
