I'm Stealing My Heart Back, One Break At A Time

My dearest,

I'm of the private opinion

We'll never make it out.

You and your souless minions

fight me, "go ahead," I scream;

thats right... you know what I mean.

Ripping into my past with your eyes,

and ripping my future, lie after lie.

You could have spoken,

(and maybe broken),

into my notions

of right and wrong,

but morals are useless here.

Here I stand,

Waist deep in quicksand,

oh, desperation loves me!

I would really prefer not to shoot.

This gun is loaded, and I

Never liked hurting you.

Its funny you should ask

why I do it so much...

Its because: you only hurt

the one you love.

"Its over" is never enough,

I'd love to be over it...

But I've said it before,

You're so addictive;

I'm a junkie high on you,

dancing alone, pretending for two.

Oh, I'm evil,

but I'm getting used to it.

I hung up my cape for now,

long enough to take you down.

And I'll smile for the camera,

your melody in my ears,

this new mug shot on the wall

matches our school photos and fears.

Say goodnight...

Go to sleep,

tonight's your last good thing from me.

Love,

From the Technicolor Grief.

I was too lazy to capitalize the first letter of every line.

"I'm a junkie high on you,
dancing alone, pretending for two.
Oh, I'm evil,
but I'm getting used to it."
I like this poem. Your statements were strong and to the point. I like the emotion and the desire of the poem. A very good ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

Havent we all been in an addictive "love" relationship, fraught with not much stability and lots of pain... nicely portrayed... love the last line ending "from the technicolor grief"...

Ah I believe this is my favorite one out of all your the beginning was slow and then it picked up very nice ending.

I adore the title. It's amazing.
Like this whole thing is just so intriguing. I read it through once, but like there's so much more there. It's really interesting. So, the person wants the other person to be gone so badly, but just can't bring herself to do it? That's how I understood it, I'm not sure if it's right or not, but anyways, it's absolutely beautiful. Technicolor Grief. Goodness child, your mind is sent from heaven.
