such a heavy load you have there
that chip sitting on your shoulder
why not just let it go
let it go before it's a boulder

thicken up your skin a bit
don't jump so quick to defense
nobody's out to get you
you don't have to be so intense

I hate walking on eggshells
I really don't want them to crack
so remove all those shells, brush off the chip
and cut everybody some slack!
This one is for me, too, at times! :-)

Our friendship is still fragile
Treat it like glass
I am still a little scared
Doubt loves to harass

There is a piece missing
Easy to overlook
It is hard to say
Which one you took

My heart feels
Like it is gonna bust
The most important thing is broken;
Our eggshell thin trust
A super old one I made a few changes but it didn't really need too much improvement.

The first of any month

is strange like

the peeling of a

hard boiled egg

where the sharp shards

if shell get all

stuck up

in cold fingernails

and the rubbery white

sphere of molded egg

jiggles and slips

plopping hard

on the white tiled floor

but it never breaks

just keeps it's shape

staying whole and

rolling off past the kitchen

and onto the warm

living room rug

where it stays

stuck and melting

becoming one with

the ruby red color

like a round white eye

glaring up at the world

unable to blink.

Will my feet ever touch solid ground?
Or will I be walking on eggshells
For the rest of my life.
Robert Gutierrez Nov 2014
tiptoes on eggshells:
whispers instead of screams.
being with you is more
enchanting than
living my wildest dreams.

sweeter than taffy and
chocolate chips, I find
myself falling for the
words that pour out
your lips.

borderline crazy
and jump off a cliff
reckless,
yet you have me
latched on tighter
than some kind of
leather choker necklace.

3,000 miles per hour-
you're coming at fast
speed, but I'm too in
awe to run away from
the buffalo stampede.

this may be nothing,
or it may be everything.
I only know that I look
forward to what
you can or cannot bring.

"Walk my eggshells?" I drool like a dog,
something you're eager to **** with
and dispose of.
I should walk your eggshells
like a minefield in first
world countries?
Mold on your fruits of love or labor,
yet I eat like ******* swine,
aftermath; no hope or sense of self,
**** my sense of identity senseless,
since September still yet towards
another fake continent or mass
of fictional places.
Stuffed back into a box and strangled,
slept next to the coffin he was buried in.
Didn't find it poignant until eight
weeks later washing dishes
for a Latverian dictator.
Google took the teeth out of the search,
and the hand that fed was gummed.
You love the rain till you're stuck in it.
You love escape till you have no home.
You love what you can abuse
and still take home;
Violet on your skin,
Violet on my mind,
Violet for a dream,
Violet for a name,
Violet in my blood,
Violet on my toes,
Violet as a drug,
Violet as an insect
you eat in private,
Violet as violet as violet
as a tautology,
or addictive prescription.
Once I had the leash on you,
now the sores have come back,
my knees and palms make
sick ******* with earth
I cough.
