Cycle

Thinking and making connections that I've never noticed before

Who  are you !

Where do you get off telling me

That I am not worthy of you

It is you 

Who is not worthy of me

 

Relieving myself of your presence

I flee

 

When no one is around

I break down

Tears rushing as

 water flows over a jagged cliff

Piercing the ocean that rushes up to meet and

Claim more droplets as its own

When done it returns the moisture to the air

To fall once more

An endless cycle

To be repeated and repeated

 

I pull away as you bait me

Teasing, taunting me

 

What could have been?

The joining of two forces

Unleashed on the earth

Yet here we are

Offering peace when there isn’t is to give

 

Your cold eyes betray the solace

You wish to offer me

 

I rather throw myself 

Off that cliff

Diving in

Life’s chaotic streams and rip tides

 

Looking over the edge , you scoff

Not daring to come in after

 

Tides pull and push me

Against flatten rocks

With sharp edges

Thrashing my already battle weary heart

Taking me over and under the edge

 Never to see the light of the dawn

Beginning to struggle 

Refusing to allow you to win 

gentle waves aid my fight to survive 

I float gently to the top

relishing warm grains of sand 

they toss my cracked heart 

softly on a beach

next to my scarred body

Getting to my feet

You are already there

Head between your hands

Tear streaked

 

Such an emotional display

Puts out the internal fire  

Stumbles the evil words behind my lips

 

I reach out

You reach out

 

An endless cycle

 

 

 

Author's Note

Let me know what you think ? Can anything be improved ? Thank you in advance :) I'm working on letting some of my emotions out. The negative ones always seem to be front and center. :(

You know, negative emotions are powerful and can inspire creative people to create power writings. All emotions are apart of who we are and by embracing them all we can share it with all others around us. Anywho, what a cycle this is and yet it is so very true. I call them warning flags and if we ignore the flags we are doomed to repeat the same cycle over again. Some find comfort in it, the give and take of it, but for me I value peace of mind above all else. I don't know how to improve it, so that part others can comment on. I like it how it is.

Nice work….
Emotions well expressed….
Right choice of words…
And their arrangement….

[Jessie Sianodel]

I love it! I know it's kind of about being tired of going through the same thing over and over again, but for some reason I thought of it as more of fighting on who is better and never giving in. it kind of reminded me of an action scene in like a spy movie.

I love this how it is!
The emotions are spiralling, crashing around! Thats a great feeling to the poem! There is a bleeding of intense anxiety here, great poem!

This is a very creative write, I love the imagery in this too. You have taken me to beaches, rocks with sharp edges and internal fires. This amazes me and I liked how have put at the end "An endless cycle" because it truly does get the reader feeling like it is
