denial

I thought 'why didn't he text me today?' and then I thought 'damn, snap out of it.'

He gets into her veins without even trying.

One look from those eyes that know exactly what they are doing.

It's like a venom that only hurts when you're not being bitten by him.

every strum from every string on his guitar pulls her in slow motion,

vibrates the blood in her veins that are now him.

every poisonous word making their way to the back of her mind,

to dig up on days beyond him.

and even though she undoubtedly knew those days were inevitable

and that he was nothing permanent 

and that this was nothing real

she let him in with so much hope,

even with knowing that was something he was so good at stealing.

That's GREAT, exactly how we react so silly to things sometimes. Especially matters of the heart. Great piece. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Wow!
very well written.............
we want things in specific order, when that does not happen, we are bothered by it no matter how unimportant and ordinary it may be.
i loved it!!!

Denial. Easy to make us want what we don't need. I like the thoughts and the hope in the poem. A very good ending to the excellent poetry,

It's so easy to get lost, subsumed in our loves. But, not only is that a betrayal of self, I think it's a betrayal of the one we love. Both people and the love they share deserve better. As you said in your comment, "Damn, snap out of it." :D

[krystle]

yes I agree, and haha thank you!

[MomzillaNC]

Stealing Your bleeding heart and that can smart. Reach out for affection and get bitten by a love connection. The only thing your sure about is the love you let out. So Scream and Shout.
