I have ruined the self
It was to you I owed that debt
& it was to you that I held onto
“Kill me, Beloved!”
My self doesn’t trust you
It has been lost
Somewhere
In the blue overtures of night crawlers
Reminding you of their eternal blindness
The self finds itself a starry night to behold
& smoke dangling on its own
Freckled with spidery legs
The Ether a container of forgotten scents
& the self can’t stare at you long enough
It grows tired
& it bends
I have ruined the self
& I can’t trust it anymore
“Kill me, Beloved!”
Maybe my Yellowed bones
Gave it away
The kiss I drew on you that night
& displayed for fortuities sake
The love that was borrowed
The love that was taken by no one
& it is no ones…
It is for Myself
& only to Myself
& it is not owed to
Nor does is it belong to
So kill me
If you’d like it back

Astoundingly beautiful…! I really take this one to heart…
Thank you, Emma. I really wanted to get a little emotional with this one…glad you enjoyed it! 😃
Drawing on emotion is a success on your part!!! 🙂
It feels so good to know that I can instill and convey to others what I’m feeling right now– that is why I love to write. Thank you much for commenting, you really made my day. 😃
*so
I’m glad I could be of help <3
I love this piece. I can relate to it so well. I just must say about all the spaces if you don’t want such a large gap when typing go to the html portion and then once done go back to the original view (before posting) this will make the gaps not as large
Hi thanks for the comment. The spaces are there on purpose, it creates a connection with the other words in the poem.
Now I’ll have to reread it
Lol anyway I still appreciate you for taking the time to read this poem. Thank you. 😃
This poem is amazing, am mesmerized and it’s like I have been shot dead by your words. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for that, Christa. It means a lot to me and I’ll try to keep on shooting beautiful words at you. 😛

Wonderful, A.R. I’ll need to read this a few times, it’s captivating! 🙂
@Emily Yeah, you were right it was in spam for some reason…lol…anyway thanks for your comment I really appreciate your kind words. 😃
I thought that’s what happened, and u couldn’t alert you because my comments to you wouldn’t show up. So I had to wait for you to comment on mine. So, thank you! 😀
