Each prick
Each disregard
Each subliminal message of rejection
Placed with a marker
A reminder not to step too close
A cash reward for time
Nothing but a beggars pitch
A gouged out heart has not much but air
There is no visitation without some
Requirement to fix a problem
Myself mangled and struggling seems invisible to you
I always visit, ready with the target on my back
Funny how you can't help but shoot yourself in the foot.
my home is void of your presence
Message recieved
More than sometimes blood is thinner than water
Especially my own.
"ouch!" easy to feel that
"ouch!" easy to feel that one, relationship poison. Don't drink the kool-aid, have a beer.
This astonishing and resonate
This astonishing and resonate work of art cuts deep, especially in your sly and witty voice. So many quotable lines to admire, connect with and nod in agreement to. Really feeling this!
