Long Cut your losses Poems

Who among you is brave enough
(or dumb enough)
to take the challenge
Bet your life to beat the odds ...
One out of six
Load the chamber with one bullet,
spin the cylinder, 
spin it good
Place the wager with a...

Look child I'm done, this is enough 
Why are you still interested in what I am doing 
I'm flattered by your concern but I'm sorry 
We are not friends, nor are you worth enough to...

I watch as we all march blindly into the swells feet first,
scraping the ocean floor with drudgery
drowning in this academia, with starfish and sandcastles
and sentiments that wash away with each coming of the tide

We haven't...

How do you even begin to assess your losses 
While you house still smolders in the dark
Can you even try to recover what has been damaged
When the smoke still burns behind your eyes
You step timidly...

The moment that I met you
Was the moment that I died.
The moment that I touched you,
I was soon fit to be tied.
You gave me all these reasons,
Then you made it bang or burst,
After all these...

It's funny how this has turned out.
I use to get flustered when you're around. 
Frantic beating of my heart.
Crazy change of my mood.
Now I realise that as much as I love you, I got to...

What does one do with a broken heart?
This question I ask you because you’re the one who broke it.
The only one who can pick up the pieces and fix this pain inside of me.
Maybe I...

I thought I read love in your eyes
Now I know better
Than to assume and presume ties
Free us from the guess fetter

That had my eyes blind
Locking me up in a sentiment prison
Where you floated unkind
To glorify,...

Sweeping through what once was mine
Gazing at this ravaged shrine
Composing the vitals in thoughts divine
Cut my losses and bleed through time
Here I'll stand along these lines

Chimerical dreams in the hands of Morpheus
Acidic tears that corrode...

My love for you is like a fire
A heart full of never ending desire
Just the thought of you sends my pulse racing
I can’t believe all the time I spent...

That Was Then, This is Now 
Copyright Corinne Curcio February 8, 2009

I once dined in fine restaurants 
Saw all the Broadway plays 
Lavished gifts on loved ones 
Those were halcyon days 

Now I eat Mac...

Sinking into a True Despair
 
It’s like trying to shoot a monstrous ghost that you can’t ever see,
and, at the same time, this applies when one wants to kill a rumor,

You ask if I'm okay, there's a long pause
I try to find the words to let you know I'm a lost cause
I know you tried to help, had so much hope
But your efforts were no...

Did you sense a desperation?
 A weakness in me?
I know that's not the person
 I wanted you to see
The woman that you dream about
 I can never be
So I cut my losses while I can

I will uncover
That which you did
Mute yourself
And go off the grid

Here’s where you keep
Your memento hid
To boost its value
Get off the grid

So you think 
You can beat your taxes
Hunt the landscape
Sharpen your axes
The true survivor
Never...

I am back
But I’m not sure how long
You’ve hurt me so bad
Don’t know if I’ll ever 
Recover
Not fully.
I am always on the edge of my seat
Like a bad
Horror movie.
Will he, won’t he
Am I gone, or...

They care not for our guilt, 
imagined stains on stonewashed hands, 
the ghost blood dripping hushed. 
The universe might tilt, 
a dormant skew, it's twist demands 
the skewered hearts be crushed.

With elegiac lamentation 
in forests...

I know I shouldn't be here
But I couldn't stay away
I'm in this love dichotomy
It torments me every day
My heart tells me to stay with you  
Keeps saying you're the one 
But my mind says...

All the bickering
Kept you ticking
For me there was no bliss
I have no problem waving bye 
Without blowing a kiss

Thought I'd be more upset
Deep inside I feel relief
Too often I felt resentment
Now rid of negativity
There's contentment

Never...

Once I would have wanted to explain 
Now, though, best to cut the losses – nothing here to gain.   

I’ll say there was a flame to follow through  
I wanted to believe...
