This heart
Aches when words
Of venom shoot through it.
Silence saunters in,
It makes half of me
Twist into a complex labyrinth.
You think, “but she’s usually
An angel. Mostly kind and polite.”
I am also human.
Daggers draw blood
And words
When used to cut
Into soft flesh
Can kill.
Instead of dying,
I fight back.
Armed with an arsenal
Of my own,
Each moment in regaining
My strength will cause
Me to empty a chamber.
I assure you…
You
Don’t
Want
That kind of death.

Have you ever heard Nina sing Ne Me Quitte Pas? I'll leave a link to my favorite version. Seeing her in that clip made me think of it and now I'll listen to it on repeat for far too long. ❤

Ooh scary! I am not down for revenge but fighting to defend oneself is necessary at times. This was one of those fierce warrior moments

One of my favorite songs. And God, I hear and feel every word of Your poem. It’s so peculiar to me how we all perceive one another….the boxes we casually place one another in. I always tell people close to me that yes I’m a pretty happy person in general….but for myself, like everyone….the pendulum swings just as far the other way. We’re human.
And Your blog looks really rockin’! Love the black outline and new template! Cheers and Thank You!!! 🙂

Thank you, kindly. It is a template that I was using sometime last year before I deleted my blogs, took a major break, and returned this year. It has a hold on me, this template.
And, I am glad the song moves you as well as the words. Thank you.
