Self Recompense

by Poeticjustice

I kiss upon your petals, You kiss upon my scars, If our love should be guarded, Should we not both be guards? You dissect me viciously, I take you as you are. I kiss you and say sorry that I'm breaking us apart. God, I'm so fucking stupid. The fellow you fancy is a figment of a feeble imagination. An egotistical cretin with a heart of stone only pierced by your daggered eyes. I wanted woefully to be that one for your love once. I stood through senseless scrimmages to earn your satisfaction. I played that part unceasingly seeking your acceptance. But nevermore shall my strings be debauched by the pain of your plucking. No longer shall I participate in pretending to be the man you make again.

Notes

I'm my own person. And I decided that I will be writing again. Fuck I missed writing. I hope I can reawake the poet in me and build him past where my cringe high school stuff left off!
