Everytime

The side effects of bad relationships.

The first time love had preyed on me,

Slowly sucking the life right out of my very body.

The double edged sword I chose to live by.

And will eventually succumb to.

Could someone capture sound within these words

we might be able to get somewhere.

But even then this story would lack an ending.

I wish you could understand just how mad I want to be

at you.

Every time you left me behind.

Raped me.

Kissed me badly.

Hurt my feelings.

Took my picture without asking.

Argued with me,

Yelled at me.

Touched me inappropriately,

Walked out on me.

Killed yourself.

Lied to me.

Loved me.

And held my hair as I threw up in your car.

Holding on to a rosary and a promise,

I fell into your arms and you let me fall.

Twice,
three times a lady.

I made it impossible to love me.

Stumbling clumsily I held the place where I’d been shot.

Thank you. Well I write what I know and I haven't known life to be a cake walk.
"Stumbling clumsily I held the place where I’d been shot."
