Forget My Face

Please,

just let me be.

Can't you see?

See that I'm not cut out for this anymore...

I take, and take , and take your love.

And then I leave…

Please,

just let me be.

Can't you see?

The trust in my heart isn't

as I used to train it to be.

The billow of moans and pillows has vanished

and its lust has now become an old widow.

It's fucked up it’s like that,

and I know that you like that.

But after all I have endure,

I have become stoical.

Please,

I beg of thee.

Just let me be.

Can't you see?

But I see how easily

it was for you to

call me a dick,

scratch my face,

bite to break skin.

It thrashes me up inside,

and I would bleed for you

if it could take the pain away.

But it won't.

And that's hidden in plain view,

so let's tear this apart

before we kill each other.

ohhh the violence of obsessing ... far too real ..and the ignorance of continuing to allow the "coming back" .. love the honesty of this one ..and from the perspective of the selfish one ..far to often we hear the whines of the "victim" ... the use of the word "kill" in closing is very harsh and has a shocking effect on me ..only because it happens in reality .. not too long ago in Sioux Falls SD a woman murdered her lover because she wanted to leave...cut her up in pieces and distributed her throughout the cities dumpsters .. she had no previous record ..whew ... powerful poetry says i!

Obsession is my comfort zone, Kill me, not yet?

[Einstein Noodle]

yes..not yet indeed :-

Reads like a passionate letter and conveys pain coming from this union of souls
begging for an ending and wanting to break ties in the absoluteness of no contact again--ever.

It's a good one. The last six lines are beautiful.

[Rebekah Smith]

To me, this has an interesting tenor; both matter-of-fact, and passionate. Similarly it's a construct of simplicity and complexity depending on how you think about it...I really like this, thanks :)

I just want you to think....of me?

Love can kill you-literally and metaphorically both :D!

I can relate to this and very relatable it is. We are ready to sacrifice our own desires to please others, sometimes we wear" masks" but its not us. Nice use of repetition, like the sound of it. good work. Find it the most beautiful work so far on this site, most original n unique.

Love the dramatic expression- Cant you see?, feels like a soulful song , you have created a divine work with your ability to master the nuances of your inner voice and charm.

What if my desire is to please others?
But thank you Suchita, divinity has a hold on me.
