Wired To Your Electric

I watch you dance at my demise for you there's pleasure in my pain I witness you're only happy when I'm miserable once again if I were burning in a pan you would be turning up the heat Somehow I am not a person on my sorrow you wish to eat I see your eyes as they sparkle on those cruel lips you have a smile I'm wired to your electric you're the one turning up the dial my only hope is to escape you or you will hasten my demise You are unconcerned with the truth you luxuriate in your lies I chose the ones who celebrate who's spirits rise upon my glee I'm lifted on their good wishes they only want the best for me I relegate you to memory for me it's easier that way You could have lived in my happy now your locked in sad yesterday

"Who's spirits rise upon my glee" These few are truly worth the celebrating dear one. We are more blest than we know. A touching write.

Fantastic write, as usual. You are right, we can choose to move beyond the people who bring us pain.

There is however the possibility that through loving them they can be transformed. Yet sometimes we may be hoping for something that may never come to be. We sometimes need to realize the protection of our being has to be our priority.

Sometimes, we are forced to love someone who has nothing but cruelty in store for us. Good write with good rhyming.

Richard, this a well-written poem with vivid, and possibly livid images that linger on the mind. Take for example ,the following telling words: "if I were burning in a pan you would be turning up the heat"

hi, there, Richard. It's good to find a new poem of yours to read. been very busy lately and trying now to catch up. I like how you express that you are relegating this sad fact into memory.

I have several in my life this can be pointed towards. Thankfully, in the past. This ripped STRONG! Be sure to change the spelling of your title to "electric", if that was your original intent. :)

Probably the best way to deal with those that wish you ill Rick, I've foun they even slip out of the memory eventually. The last stanza is a brahma. Take care, Richard
