I know you’re not good for me.
I know one day soon I’ll lie alone in my bed,
crying a story to the only one who will listen sympathetically…
my pillow,
because everyone else told me so.
I know you mean me no good.
I know one day soon I’ll be standing somewhere
trying to remember what I liked when it was just me…
before I cared what you didn’t;
before your appetite became my only goal.
I know you’ll break my heart.
I know today that you love another,
and that your heart no longer loves me.
And yet
I keep reaching for the pain your arms bring…
because…
It’s all I’ve come to know.

Intense. Beautiful pouring of sorrows. I can see her hand, white knuckled, gripping the last thin thread of what remains. Him walking away. Her life unraveling. Sad. I really experienced this piece. Well done!

really a moving piece…its all i know…or all i know to do…because at times the heart wants what it cant have…and that is painful….

It is a painful thing Brian, but we can also learn from it. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Are you currently writing any book? I want to tag you…I mean, it’s an opportunity to promote your upcoming book and say a few things about it.
February 5th, 2013 at 6:55 PM
I’m not working on a book right now. I wrote Fragments of Me: A Journey of Poetry in May of 2012.
February 5th, 2013 at 7:34 PM
Okay, then

It’s funny how we know what we shouldn’t do but do it anyway.
February 6th, 2013 at 4:36 AM
Isn’t that always the case?

There’s something piercingly familiar in those words. Written beautifully.
