a little sordid
a little seedy
a little ****** up
a little needy
i could hate you
for being 
so like me
but i love
the reflection 
you've made
me see

thanks Gary :) i wrote this after a friend told me that she was in a relationship purely because she saw herself in her partner. she identified, but only with the darker side. it still gave her a kind of comfort, i think.... to not be alone.

exactly. i, for one, am more comfortable in the dark places most of the time. but light is necessary to retain a frame of reference. without the one the other doesn't exist, after all.

Smacks you with the truth of the feelings

Love it. The honesty, the emotion, so raw and straight down the line. Simple yet powerful.

thanks Troy :) i don't like sugarcoating life, but being too direct has its cost, i've learned the hard way. and even though i can now control my mouth, my writing refuses to budge :)

i can't get enough of your verses. amazing how you pack so much punch and meaning concisely. this is one i can relate. sounded familiar to me at the receiving end. awesome writing.

thanks so much icarus... what pleases me most is that it makes you feel. anything. something. everything, if possible. :)

It's great to see what significant others 
bring out in thee. Alone, we would never  had known.
Nice write liz!

Great write. Theres no getting away from ourselves.

Perfect. From bitter to compassion in 5 seconds.  Thank your for sharing.

thanks red :) if not for others we wouldn't see ourselves at all, i sometimes think. 

thank you eileen :) nope there is no escape. but then we probably shouldn't want to.

thanks coral. it's the duality of it all... being able to hate and love the same person in one moment.

thanks kevin :)

This is awesome. I write similar to this myself and I find that what I see is sometimes something I don't like but when what I see is something I like then I grab hold and never let go. Very good write.
