The Vicious Split

There is no way to separate these two- They are fated to come together, And they will only call the other Enemy. Two parts of a whole, Committed to their kill. Your love can only tears us further apart; For it is vicious and with sharpened claw. The agony in the eyes to see the tender skin so desperately torn. I am sorry for what I have done to you; I am sorry that I could not stop. Passing the hand slowly down and across my thigh, I feel the destruction that you left behind. I am left shamed by these scars Displayed for everyone to see. Take this battle from me, Lord Keep my body far from my mind. Lost in my desire for a new affection to comfort me And the ecstasy I know must be in sight. I took the suffering that was offered up to me I bore it for so long and I always bore it with my head high. These are secrets that will save you When your back is against the wall I may be pinned and the blood has begun to spill, But no fear exists in me this time.

Hey Greta, stopped by for a visit. This is a haunting piece from you. It would seem this person has a subtle need for the expression of pain. Great imagery and writing. Well done! Be Blessed, Neva
