Psycho

I opened my door
to a lunatic
a certified psycho
let it into my home
Oh ~
to turn back the clock
erase the blunder
and
the aftermath
that transcends

Ooh, how horrible! This reminds me of an old saying, "Walk softly and carry a big stick!" Well penned.

We all have a psycho somewhere in our family, neighborhood, or background. I am glad you have "opened this door". It may help other poets write the poem they need to write to start healing.

Thanks for your visit and comment, Caren. Sometimes our "blunder" is just being too naive or too plain nice... therefore unsuspecting and the perfect victim.

Reminds me of one of my old girlfriends. Turned out not to be so friendly. Creepy but cool and well done!....80)

We all can relate to that feeling of regret. How events take shape and happen sometimes catching us unawares. The painful regret that follows. You've summed it all up.
