Maiden You Are Foolish

Praying for love and paying in naivete. This one is old too.

 

 

Am I falling up, or falling down?  Am I losing myself, or losing control?  Am I doing this because I'm brave or because I'm so very cowardly?  I feel like a piece of glass crusted over with your fingerprints your fingerprints on my skin, I can still feel you people holding me I'd so much rather be pristine I need a clean slate What I've learned isn't worth living and learning and moving on Forgive is a word,  forget is a myth.  Mercy me, mercy mercy someone Someone have mercy on me, if I just can't love the way I mean to say the way I mean to be the way I mean to Someone have mercy on me.

Okay then I will have mercy. Maybe I am interpreting this piece wrong, but I get the feeling it is speaking of moving on from a dead-end situation. On the one hand you accept the necessity of it, on the other hand you hate leaving/hurting anyone. You hurt. You need someone to talk to without being judgmental. you find solace in pen and paper. Not sure if this was from a fictional standpoint, or real....but you got mercy anyway.

Good writing. Thanks for sharing this.

I just loved this , I loved the repeat of Mercy me..not alot of people use that word and it is very poetic..this whole poem was written in a style that is so confessional and open and real and I really liked it... it works so well
