Back To Basics

I have stumbled and fallen over life , love and everything in between And after all that i've seen Its safe to say , I no longer bleed! You see I left my poetry In the arms of a mad man Hoping he would take care of better than I ever could Without realizing that I had handed a piece of my soul to the devil's shadow Who brused and broke it daily hoping to end me - maybe! I left my poetry with a mad man Simply because I thought all the pain I felt through it would stay away Silly me - I almost faded away Now im back licked all my wounds swallowed all my pride and ready to take it back to basics!!

when there is such deepness of feeling in a poem, it is to be loved, great write, but more important, never stop to write!
